Hey Everyone,
Ok, so I have been trying to fix a stupid coolant leak for the past week and have come to the conclusion that I just need to replace the radiator. I'm a little nervous trying to attempt this myself. I've watched a lot of videos online, and read up on it and it seems doable... my biggest worries, other than disconnecting the trans cooling lines, are the fans and the water pump pulley... Some tutorials say I have to remove the fans, some say not. Some say I have to loosed the water pulley, some not. If I don't have to bother with either of those things, I am going out there today and getting this done. Anyone change the rad on a 2000 Ltd. 6cyl. 4.0L? Advice?

Update:
Finally got the new rad in, reconnected everything... no leaks (YAY!) I turned the car on, let it run for a few minutes, drove it up and down the block 2x and then let it sit and idle until it warmed up. Waited til the fan kicked on, let it run for about 2 minutes more and the temp. gauge was still creeping up. (still no leaks). I shut it off and I could hear bubbling and gurgling from the front of the car... sounded loudest near the thermostat. No boiling or loss of fluid from the reservoir.. Top hose was hot and bottom was cool...
Any ideas? Could it be air still left in the system? Water pump? (no leaks or squealing) gonna look at it again tomorrow, let it run.... Fear of this 0331 head is giving me a complex! LOL...

Thanks..That's what I'm hoping! I checked it after the first time I ran it and it took a little more fluid. Will check it again tomorrow... Should I have the heat on full blast the whole time I am running it? I had it on for a little while tonight, then wondered if I was a dummy for not having it on from the start...

Okay guys so I am close to being "done" with my build. I still have some vibes that I will like to get rid of if possible. This last weekend I installed 3" Pro Comp Coils, 1.5" Spacers (1.75" but I took out the factory isolators like a dumb ***), extended sway bar links, RC Shackle Relocation Brackets, JKS Adjustable Tracbar and MOOG ZJ steering setup. I have 1" JKS Shackles on Crown HD Leafs with 2* Shims installed. I also have 1" Bombproof Motor Mounts, so I figure the front has just over 4.5" suspension lift(still lower than the rear dammit) plus however much having the lift mounts adds to things. I have a pair of Warrior 4* shims sitting in the garage if I need them and I was thinking about this as well;http://www.rustysoffroad.com/rustys-...er-1-drop.html
I can feel the vibes pretty much all the time, but it really only makes me uncomfortable between ~55-70MPH. 2wd. Thoughts, suggestions?
