Come to think of it, a Detroit water pump is down really low so plenty of atmospheric pressure to lift any air out Paul

I use this to refill my trucks, tractors and equipment when doing a coolant refill. They honestly work great and they aren't real expensive. https://www.cpsproducts.com/product-details/550000/

Seems like mack and John Deere are about the only 2 companies I can think of that really didn’t have their engines in anything besides what they built. Kind of a shame since it seems the L10 Cummins was a flop from what I’ve heard and think the e6/e7 could have been a good fit for an alternative. Just a thought I had. I enjoy reading about management history of these companies and deals that happened behind closed doors

Because Mack built motors properly Probably need a bleeder on a Cummins as Cummins were susceptible to cavitation Detroit (2 stroke) I have never heard of any cavitation issues IH was like Cummins and renowned for cavitation problems Paul

Floor boards ??? Hope the termites don't eat it 😯 Paul

This didn’t begin Friday. Carter started it. He watched the Islamic Republic take power, watched American diplomats get seized and paraded on television for 444 days, spent the rest of his presidency negotiating with people who had already told us exactly what they were. Reagan facilitated it. October 23rd, 1983. A Hezbollah truck bomb funded and directed by Iran killed 241 United States Marines in Beirut while they slept. The deadliest single day for the Marine Corps since Iwo Jima. Reagan’s response? Tehran was heard clearly and never forgotten kill enough Americans at once and America will leave. That lesson became the operational blueprint for every Iran-backed proxy attack for the next forty years. Clinton ignored it. 1995 — a car bomb in Riyadh kills five Americans. 1996 — Khobar Towers. A massive truck bomb kills 19 United States Air Force personnel in Saudi Arabia. Nothing. 1998 — Embassy bombings in Africa. 2000 — USS Cole. Seventeen sailors killed. Clinton launched missiles at an empty training camp and an aspirin factory. Eight years. Hundreds of Americans dead or wounded. Zero consequences for Tehran. Bush handed them the keys. He called them the Axis of Evil correctly. Then invaded two countries simultaneously and handed Iran the greatest strategic gift in its history. Iranian Quds Force operatives flooded across the border funding, training, and arming the militias killing our soldiers. And the response was to continue the war while avoiding direct confrontation with the country killing our people. By the time Bush left office Iran had deeper influence in Iraq than we did. Obama funded it. This is where failure becomes unforgivable. The Green Revolution of 2009 where millions of Iranians in the streets begging for American support ignored. The protesters were crushed. The regime survived. Then came the $150 billion in sanctions relief, sunset clauses that expired within a decade, zero restrictions on ballistic missiles, and zero restrictions on funding proxy terror networks. Then came the cash. $1.7 billion. On pallets. On an unmarked plane. In the middle of the night. Delivered simultaneously with American hostages. The regime used the imagery as propaganda for years and used the money to fund Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthi expansion in Yemen, and the proxy militia networks in Iraq and Syria that spent the next decade killing Americans. Obama literally funded the apparatus that put the drone into Tower 22. Biden surrendered to it. 160-plus attacks on American forces from October 2023 forward. American soldiers killed in Jordan. Two Navy SEALs lost at sea intercepting Iranian weapons shipments to the Houthis. Houthi missiles disrupting global shipping lanes. Iranian proxies running operations across five countries. Three Georgia soldiers died in their beds. Then came Trump. He looked at forty-five years of this record and did something no president had done since the hostages came home. He said no. Maximum pressure. IRGC designated as a foreign terrorist organization. Sanctions reimposed. The JCPOA abandoned. Soleimani the architect of Iranian proxy violence across the entire Middle East, personally responsible for hundreds of American deaths killed in a precision strike in January 2020. The regime paralyzed. The proxies recalibrated. The nuclear program set back. For the first time in four decades the regime faced a president it genuinely could not predict. Then Trump left office. Biden came in. The pressure evaporated. The appeasement resumed. And the regime, patient as it has always been, went back to work. And now we’re here. So the next time someone tells you this is Trump’s war tell them they are brainless twats. This isn’t Trump’s war. This is forty-five years of American presidents refusing to finish it and one president finally deciding that the bill comes due. If you are not capable of comprehending that move to Iran and defend the regime personally. Insurrection Barbie

Of course you don't. I could have bet money on it!

I don’t support the strikes and I bet the family members of the Americans killed don’t either. I suspect you have a sampling bias.

Yes, that will bleed it. You will notice in the diagram, the coolant "conditioner" is above the pump housing and runs to the thermostat housing.

I watched him live at Sonoma drag strip.. bob

My 673 didn't have any hole to bleed with. I just filled it and ran it for the last 25 yrs. I almost put my 673 housing on but waited too long to research what those pipes were for. It's on there, I will leave it. I know there is a small #4 line coming off the block behind WP housing and goes to coolant filter. I wonder if that is the bleed for this? Why didn't 673 ever have a bleed?

I had to search this one, one of my all time favorite commercials. I thought it was for Castrol oil but it's not.

And quit blaming the president for all your family hangups

Yeah and thier overblown phony news clips keep dropping the stocks ….. I say blow your nose and face the nation… bob

Ok apparently there were many pennzoil commercials with the golfer not just one and they also include an old farm tractor

"Only one in four Americans approves of the U.S. strikes" Fake news. I say fake, because everyone I've asked supports the action. Iran is viewed as a dark cloud that has hung over the world since 1979. It has threatened to destroy America for 47 years. Reuters and AP must be owned by Democrats. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/just-one-four-americans-support-us-strikes-iran-reutersipsos-poll-finds-2026-03-01/

I’m sure I could probably punch it in Google search and it’ll bring it up

Yes, I remember that battery commercial but the Pennzoil I thought was like 71-76 not sure likeMecho says brain is fading

I foresee the Tree of Liberty being watered with the blood of tyrants and Patriots in the near future!

My old wife has never changed the oil.....

another example of :: it's good to be old and over the hill! back in the day it was about being the richest .. when Rockefeller was asked :how much is enough? his reply was "just a little bit more" sadly today it's about world power! theme behind many James bond movies (he was a super spy for you youngsters) was focused on world power. we are seeing it now. doesn't matter who you blame ; the children will be paying the price.

Yeah, the sad part about that is she almost has to take anybody that comes along that sucks sorry …. Bob

don't think Your alone in that area. I just came from a meeting with my youngest ; we discussed the plans ($$$$$) for her marriage #2 to a not so bright man. marriage #1 failed leaving her with 3 children . she's 36yr old ??

How did they vent with the new housing? problem with bleeding once, is if the block ever gets drained, you have to do it over. IDK Macks but others sometimes have a internal bleed hole to vent the top of the pump housing.
