Finished installing third radiator just in time - 90+ degree weather begins tomorrow. Followed Mike's excellent instructions for bumper removal and radiator install. Oil temps seemed about 20 degrees cooler so far. Found a great deal on the third radiator kit at PelicanParts.com. With California sales tax and free shipping, the cost was $225.00! Delivered in three workdays. That seemed like cheap insurance with 100+ degree weather coming. Besides, it looks much better with the new ducting and radiator.

As Mike's dyi recommended, remove the bumper support, (two 16mm bolts), and the horn attachment on the passenger side. Easy to remove and makes the install much easier. I used less than a gallon and one-half of antifreeze and distilled water. I had the front end raised up so I only got a couple of quarts out of the main radiators when I removed the hoses. My compressor wouldn't work so I couldn't use the vacuum kit. Instead I used the "burp" valve on the coolant tank. It worked very well. Thanks Mike.

 

was thinking about adding one. did you use this DIY?

Yes. I also used his bumper removal instructions. Made the process relatively easy.
