3.0 Radiator Installation...kinda lost

Hey all... my truck (92 pickup 4wd 3.0 5spd) needs a radiator. I have never done a radiator before, but from what I can tell it shouldn't be too hard for my truck. Just wondering if anybody has a write-up, or at least some helpful insight. As always, any and all input is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Not bad to do at all, just watch how it coms out, and put it back in the same way.

Buy a pressure pump (15 bucks). And pressure test it after your done.. It will show your leaks (if any). Sometimes you'll have a leak after installation, and most the time they wouldn't spring until high coolant temps and pressure... A small price to pay for a tool that can save you from breaking down on a trail or highway. You don't want to overheat a 3.0 !!!
