    HELP? Oil everywhere.

    I finally bought new radiator. I have truck back together and am ready to put antifreeze in. I bought 4 glns of FleetCharge from NAPA. As I began to pour it I noticed it is orange and stopped. Does it matter if it's orange or green?

    HELP? Oil everywhere.

    Talked to radiator shop. Bad news radiator is shot. It figures since it is the original. Now I'm in need of a radiator. I've been quoted $350-450 for a replacement. I have checked parts stores and they all seem to have plastic tanks. Anyone got a better idea on where to get a cheaper all metal type?

    Holy cow! I can't believe I forgot about the thermostat! Maybe I should just put down the tools and slowly back away? I'll pick up a new t-stat tonight and pull the old out so I can flush it better. I guess my water wasn't hot enough. I had it coming directly from my hot water tank.

    HELP? Oil everywhere.

    I dropped my radiator of at a shop on Thursday. I spoke with radiator shop this morning. The tech said it is still clogged and still spewing oil. They will keep it in the solvent and to call back tomorrow afternoon. This makes me thing about the engine. I put a hose down the top engine outlet...

    HELP? Oil everywhere.

    Ok cooler is remounted but I can't find a torque spec for the bolts. I have an account with Alldatadiy.com but It doesn't state anything. I also have the Haynes manual and it says nothing. Anyone know the torque specs for the oil cooler?

    HELP? Oil everywhere.

    I finally got a good weekend to deal with my oil cooler. I just pulled the drain plug and clean antifreeze came out of my oil pan!!! There has to be about 2 gallons of this stuff. The oil filter even had antifreeze in it when that wqs taken off. I drove this truck for about 60 miles with this...

    Bignastystacks - that's a great idea to get hot water to wash out the oil. I have to find my drain on my water heater and use that. Thanks for the idea.

    Wow! I didn't know the coolant system needed to get lubed every once in awhile. LOL So I can wash out the oil from the coolant system? If so what do I use?
