It's a pretty easy job. Drain the radiator so you don't make a mess cutting the heater hose. Other then that, not to tough.

gotcha i am going to watch some youtube videos and see how it goes im just a bit iffy because i just had 6k worth of parts and upgradeds done to the engine and from what i read the 6.0s coolant system is devious.

Get a good monitor to watch everything. Edge CS or CTS are my preference. Some like the Scangauge.

Make sure you are on OE filters only. Maintenance is the most important thing, and knowing what is going is second.
