Picture of old pitman arm with tie-rod tool installed with steering gear centered. This did not work so well so I rotated the steering gear to the left.

The tie-rod removal tool (J 24319-B equivalent) shown for size and installed orientation. It is a quite substantially build tool.

Another view of the original extra cooler showing the hose routing. This was plumbed in series with the one built into the radiator.

The connections I made to the new cooler. It was so much taller that I had to use them to be able to connect the long hoses without kinking them.

The installed new cooler. It is a Hayden 699. One of their largest. It has a thermal bypass valve in the bottom row so that it won't overcool when it is cold. I also think the fin design will provide better air flow. The Hayden people recommend that it be mounted with the exit and entrance pointed down if possible.

The passenger side leak area. I had to expand the area a bit later. This is an example of how I had to prep area for the JB Weld.

This is looking at the coolant slowing coming out of the original fix from December while the radiator was still installed in the truck.

With the acetone thinned JB Weld, I used a heat lamp to help along the curing. This worked great.

Front/driver side repair. Not all of these leaked but most did so I just uniformly coated all well. I also made sure the JB weld covered the whole area where the tubes intersected the side tank even if the leak was only located at the front face.
