thats like plasma being its own type of matter, it's a whole nother' type that only works for certain things. not as versatile as the other 3 on most things


*as a side note caulk and/or rtv silicone are also in the "plasma" category.

Hot glue is effin' dangerous. I like the plasma analogy. I don't **** around with plasma, that's how you burn your fingers.

Yeah I figured the inlet outlets were the same. (Hoping so.)
Just want it to be in the ballpark so I can rig something up!

It won't work. The radiator support on the diesels foes deeper down between the frame rails.

I've tried it. No way no how. Hell even a gasser rad from a 90 won't work in a 92 up without mods. The topmounts are different

I should really figure out the year of that diesel.. or does it even matter?

I want to say early 90s.. but hell it could be anywhere from 86-95.. And of course, going into an '88.

That rad isn't near as big as the ones I had. I had one out of a 85 cab and chassis and it was a lot taller than trhat. Like the radiator support in the pickup was all the way down around the bottom of the frame rails.
