I read the “easy way” on Gene’s site, up and out the front, but my radiator just won’t budge. I’ve taken everything loose but it does not want to go up. So, I’m on my way to buy a metal cutting blade for the GMC Tool so that I can modify the frame with hinges - as has been done before - and just drop it straight down.
Removing the oil cooling lines was worrisome, but successful. My beloved PO installed a transmission cooler, so one radiator connection was a hose attached to a barb, the other was a hard line going in to the radiator. Loosening the fittings twisted the other hard line and snapped it. Now what? I’m not too fond of replacing the transmission lines. Could I attach another barb at the radiator and use hose to make the final connection? What about corrosion? Should I just buy a length of PolyArmor?
