I replaced my radiator and thermostat today. Trucks holding at 181° when parked. Normally it was 185°. We'll see how she'll get when under load. My last radiator was done for, completely warped and clogged up.
While looking for a 10mm nut I never found, I noticed the passenger side CV boot was completely ripped through.
So I went ahead and pulled her tonight. I'll wake up early tomorrow to rebuild her in the morning and install later in the afternoon when the sealant dries.
While I have everything apart on this side, I'll take the time tomorrow to clean, de-grime and re-grease everything.
But man I love having power tools now. It makes tearing everything apart so much faster and easier.
