<\/a>So I did something on the truck today. Nice, as long as I don’t see some other huge part that needs removing, I’m about to “put it back together” mode. Probably would have made more progress with less breakfast and Linda’s and procrastinating, but it was good times.<\/p>\n

If you ever need to replace the the radiator support on a Chevy K2500 (4×4 3\/ton) suburban, it’s easy: don’t and pay someone else to do it.<\/p>\n

There’s so many damn bolts and it really is the entire front of the trunk. A name like “radiator support” is deceiving. Worst is that I had to remove the air conditioing condensor, the radiator (including what looks like an oil cooler and a transmission cooler lines) and a power steering pump cooler, which I had to cut one of the lines, finding no other way to get it out through the small hole.<\/p>\n

I also trashed the grill, but it was broken anyways and I didn’t want to find the time to find all the small screws. Unfortunately I started this project 2 months ago before it got cold and I didn’t think it was going to take this long, so I didn’t bother putting bolts in ziplock bags with labels as to where they came from like I normally do. Reassembly is going to be fun, and I’ll be impressed if I manage to not forget to bolt something important back in.<\/p>\n

Just gotta get some photos from random times uploaded and I’m off to Adam’s for a Haydrian reunion, which seems like an excuse for Adam, Jim and I to drink at this point since those suburban folks don’t like making the drive all the way into the city.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
