TIME partner TIME I really did not have the time to do the repair but after it was all done and sitting here at home the more I thought about it the more it TIC'ed me off, so I decided to cancel a trip and just take the time an do what I've wanted to do for awhile now. Yes I do have a shop equipet more than well enough to do this job, we've built things in my shop from funny car to an exp single seat plane.
By the way as of tonight the engine an trans an transfer case are down on the mounts, far from done but thier in there.
As for using the old radiator yes I did have them use the old radiator, nothing wrong with the rad itself just the trans cooler inside the rad. AND YES you must plug the old cooler in the rad. REMEMBER THE TRANNY FLUID LEAKED INTO THE RADIATOR, WELL THAT MEANS THERE IS A HOLE IN THAT COOLER and if trans fluid could leak into the radiator now the coolant can leak OUT THE SAME HOLE IN THE TRANS COOLER so you plug the cooler an then the coolant will just fill up the coil for the OLD tranny cooler and NOT LEAK OUT, cause it's now pluged.
IRA 51 I never thought my mileage was bad to start with do you think your's is bad. I really think that when done I will get a little better than before.
