    Radiator question?

    I saw that with the two dip stick locations, I agree with you, it'll be better to leave it, and not trim it off. I'll order the seal and pan gasket, both items shipped is 30 bucks through ebay - that don't sound like a bad price. I'm going to pull the radiator back out and re seat it on the...

    Radiator question?

    haha, I never have gotten into those smart phones, my wife has one, and it's to much for me to figure out, every time I get ahold of it, I want to chuck it across the room, she's handed it to me a few times to look at something on it, and by the time I have it in my hands, I've inadvertently...

    Radiator question?

    Radiator question?

    oh yeah, the heater core is completely disconnected from the engine, I'll be back flushing that separately. But using the same method.

    Radiator question?

    yeah, you gotta have a lot of patients with me, I'm slow, I got the day off, then got volunteered to babysit a grand kid, so I only had the last half hour or so to work on the truck today, but I did make some progress :) I got the lower block drain ports unplugged, (they were nasty and it...
