That F150 would only need to drive as far as "the accident" it was about to have if it was mine.
I deleted my trans lines to the radiator.. bypassing it is a lot nicer
the fan shroud extensions are there because the truck has a body lift, blocks between the cab/bed and cab/bed mounts.
Water will cause the clutch material to come off the disc
Ray. Unfortunately, not everyone can afford to fully fix their vehicles. You said yourself that the radiator needed to be replaced. So doing that before the Transmission is done is not a waste of resources. Ideally, everything would be replaced at the same time, but because it isn't, does NOT mean it is sketchy.
that stupid plastic piece that didnt need to be there, is protection for the o-rings for the quick connect lower hose that your truck didnt have. wrong radiator but also the correct radiator if you just stuff the standard hose onto it.
Just watch Wife Unit that is much more fun than working.
Always fun to go out with the kids and pickin' strawberrys.
Ray use liquid dish washer detergent in the radiator do it on big trucks all the time when oil cooler cracks and dumps in the antifreeze very good at cutting oil
Did anyone else want Ray to doodoooleeedooo when his phone was ringing?
why replace the whole radiator when cheaper way would be to add a separate trans cooler..& block or the lines going into the radiator
i would not have hooked up anything to the rad till the system was flushed
Someone forgot to use a garden hose and flush the radioactive crud out of the engine block before connecting the hoses to the new Radiator ! Hmmmmm Ray ?
Did you tighten that fan clutch onto the water pump ? The phone rang before you had that done …
I don't know why so many people are concerned with some water frothed oil in the cooling system harming the new radiator. It can be flushed out later with soapy water if the transmission survived.
Why not just use a trans cooler delete hose? Keep the nasty stuff out of the new unit.
the gauge cluster reading is an easy fix ,i fixed mine within an hour
Whatever happened to Wife Unit's brake job ?
Rage against the Machine couldn't depend on their 77 Chevrolet van ,but it gave them a name for their band.
connect the two trans lines together until you're ready to flush it not like your going to be driving it anywhere but to park it
Don't forget to tighten the fan up on water pump
That’s all you can do Ray..
give it some steroids so it runs for another year… and sell it quick..
I catch myself saying "Beeeeeeeww" when powering down my truck..LOL!
I know it's more work: but drain, flush, flush, flush and then Install new radiator, flush again and refill?
It's like when you are the ER doctor and an accident victim gets wheeled in. You didn't cause the massive pile-up. You didn't cause the injuries. But you are the professional and you are in a position to provide some kind of help. So, you do what you can.
That Ferd should have been put into the car cemetery a long time ago
