Got my '94 out today and man did I miss that sound. Anyways sitting there for no more than 10 min. and just as we were leaving my dad tells me he sees a puddle under the car. Damn radiator is leaking like a siv., I'm thinking what the hell it sees 10 minutes of sunlight and is pissing anitfreeze all over the ground already. Needless to say the rest of work wasn't enjoyable for me. Getting it fixed in the morning, so it will already be in the shop and I haven't even had it out for 24 hours yet. :tongue3:

Sorry to hear that... I'm sure you know already but check all the hoses because it can throw antifreeze in every direction looking like the radiator when its a hose itself.

radiators arent too bad... take off the plasitc cover, take out the catch tank, remove the 4 bolts holding it in, take off the rubber pad on the bottom. ... install is the reverse of removal :-D lol.

at least its that easy on 4.6s...... i dono about 5.ohs.

Ouch! I hope I never have to replace my rad, but just buy an OEM one when I drop in my new engine for a safety measure. My alternator is dieing slowly too, I hope it can last another 6-7 months...
