What did you do with your H3 recently? NEW

[Roastbeast]

Just topped off my coolant also. I was down a little. Do you see your coolant go down a very little after a year a so ?

 

[JPaul]

Probably normal, it's not a fully enclosed system, the tank vents to the outside so you'll get evaporation over time and need to top off and check the ratios.

After running your engine at operational temps, your coolant reaches its phase envelope as a vapor and your level slowly lowers over time.

That and when the engine is switched off the coolant in the engine heat soaks and it can reach up to 30* higher than the temp before being turned off (most noticeably in summer) and the coolant overflow tanks becomes full

Did my annual fluid change. Trans & filter, both diffs & TC. Trans magnet had a little more material than I have seen before, thinking a rebuild will be in my future.

Cleaned the throttle body and got rid of the stumble idle on decel. Discovered the exhaust manifold has a crack half way around #5 and a broken stud in the back, so that's always a fun job looks like there is enough left to weld a bolt on. Half the manifold bolts were loose enough to turn with your fingers so tightened them up and loosened the rest, gently, then snugged them back up to see how many broken ones I will have to deal with fortunately just the one.
Found one of the aftermarket battery covers laying on the intake cuz lazy mechanics are awesome. Making a laundry list of things to do in the spring.

Gearboxes new fluid today.

Picked her up from the shop today. Replaced the valve cover gasket, water pump, oil change, tune up (plugs and coils) and a broken intake manifold bolt.

Treated her to a wash and wax when I got her home.

SkyjackerH7000 shocks, driver side replacement headlight and smoked taillights coming this weekend! Excited to get her started.

Engine oil/filter & transmission filter/fluid change. Found a method that keeps the transmission fluid off of the garage floor! I used my top side engine oil changer to evacuate all of the transmission fluid in the pan before dropping the pan. Worked great and didn’t even need to use a kids swimming pool or over sized oil change pan. Highly recommended for others that attempt to change your transmission fluid.

Installed some 7 inch led headlights. Used a 3d printed adapter courtesy of lased.design.

Here are the headlights and wiring harness I used to switch the negative polarity so that everything worked.

Here is a shot of the cut off

Did you have a plan for all the extra space around them so they don't look so unfinished?

Here are some pics outside, can't even see the white body behind the headlight assembly unless you're up close.

That is one of the best looking 3's I have ever seen. Bonus point for the pool noodles.

Went to start it and dead, not a peep. Quick look under the hood neg terminal is just rattling around on the post. Upon further inspection I found some noodlebrained fool used a 'battery post sleeve', which ranks right real high on my list of I'd like to punch an inventor in the throat category. Battery was 5 years old anyway, so new battery new terminals starts fine. Yay me right, nooooo windows and fob quit working of course. Pull the terminals, again, touch them together wait 10 minutes jump up and down on one foot with your finger in your nose or so the ritual goes, and all is well again.
H3's are so fussy when it comes to voltage.

Got the smoked taillights and drivers headlight replaced today.
