any how to's for...

going on a service call maybe this week and ill be doing a few odds and ends. but mainly would like to know if any one has a basic run down of an oil cooler?
im sure i can figure it out with out an issue but would like to know what kind of tools i may need for the drive out there and how bad it is or hints and tricks. thanks guys.

oh and one more thing, can only assume a oil bypass is straight forward, any one do one?

10 mm socket, 3/8th drive swivel, a nice long extension (18" min, 3' works nice) and a ratchet to get the two front bolts are the best tools I have found going right through the fender well.

nah you don't need to take any thing off but the cooler. I have unbolted the motor mount and jacked the engine up on one just cause I got sick of trying to thread it out of there but you don't need to take anything else off.

A small jack with two blocks of wood. And a jack it up under the back back if your frame to put it together. And lots of grease. LOTS of it.

rodneywar is parting out a truck.... Might suck to pay the shipping but if his rad is good you could maybe work out a deal with him.
