PS> Time for a new radiator? Just trying to figure out if I missed that section of "I'm not USING coolant, ...my radiator is leaking it"..... ???

Thanks for the birthday wishes Mark! My girlfriend took me out to Hibachi. That's neat watching the guys twirl the utensils and make everything go up in flames! The family party will be tomorrow.

Yeah its been slowly leaking since i bought the truck. It's time for a replacement... Any suggestions? I know i want to go with a V6 radiator. Do the coolant lines match up? Where should i get it, i'm thinking radiator barn.

Make sure it is all metal, no plastic tanks.
3 row is what you want. I think radiator barn sells a heavy duty 22re rad, which has 3 rows.
I ended up getting mine locally for almost the same price on the barn. Having a knowledgeable rad guy help me pick an oversized radiator that would fit was a big help. I think I actually am running a 3.4 radiator, I'll see if I can find the part number.

Bought a hi-lift jack today! I really need to stay away from the 4x4 store (OK4WD).

Hahaha.... yeah, but 89$ for the Extreme! That's 103$ at 4wheelparts!

Far as the ARB, ...WOW, you're gonna have to sell yourself AND WORK, hahahaha! Jk, ... I'm guessing you're going to sell the 95, make up the cabbage and put it right into Ole Yeller~! Right? hahaha. Oh yeah, ...and the bike, too!

Good purchase, man!
