Holy s***....what a day.
Started at 9:30, everyone else got here at 10, then we made a parts run to Auto Zone. Took about 2-3 hours to install Efans on my brother's TBSS because everyone was bullshitting. lol Did his 160 T-stat real quick, then tried to fill his coolant back up with my vacuum tool, (puts a vacuum on the system, then shoots the antifreeze in, for NO air bubbles) but the system wasn't holding the vacuum. After troubleshooting what it could be for an hour, double and TRIPLE checking his hoses and the water neck, I just said screw it and shot the A/F in there anyway. Sometimes air will get in by the radiator overflow hose, so I just chalked it up to that.
He turns his truck on after that, and we were waiting patiently for the efans to kick on indicating that we had installed them correctly. lol They turn on, but I notice it spraying A/F all over the motor? I thought it was just excess that I might have spilled, but it was DOUCHING out! He had a damn hole in his radiator! Must've happened while we were dropping the efans in. After calling 12 different parts stores with the closest radiator being 2 days out, the Napa in Kent supposedly had a one.....but it was 4:10, and of course they closed at 4!!!! So he took our Cavalier home until I can get a radiator installed for him. Hopefully that Napa does have one...need to call tomorrow morning.
Between that, doing front brakes and painting calipers on his SS, one guy cutting his headlights open to paint them (paint was slow 'cause of the cold), another guy changing his transfer case and differential fluid, and HID's in my Trailblazer, I didn't get in till after 11. Now I get to wake up and do it all over again! I was planning on tearing apart my p5 to catalog all the parts I can sell, but if that Napa has a radiator, I'll have to get that in real quick.
Ah well...such is life. At least the HID's in the TB look awesome, and the wife got drunk enough to initiate a little nookie....good day! hehe
