BlackBlazeOn...
Outstanding write up.
I'm mechanically inclided, and wasn't afraid of the task at hand – but it’s always good to read through what your getting in to.

DrDD…
Tough little engines they are! My problems came about like this… Warming up too much, with Dex-Cool and air in the system. My overflow lead (radiator cap to overflow) got plugged from Dex-Gunk in the process; eliminating the system to properly bleed & re-fill.
In addition to the gunk in the that line, the radiator wasn’t operating too efficiently because of the same problem. She got heated up a few times – once in a mountain pass snow storm (towing another truck) and when we were passed by Semi-Trucks the snow/sleet froze-over of the grill, thus no air to the radiator. I accidently cooked her good – while doing “white-knuckle-driving” in a white-out!

The only thing I’d add to the instructions BlackBlazeOn posted, is when you take them down this far, you should spend the few bucks and have the heads resurfaced.

This is a pre-project post. I’ll make sure to re-post after the project is done for any additional tips and tricks.

Best regards to all.
