Just out of curiosity, what are the dimensions of that Civic radiator (LxWxD)?

Thanks.. I try, sometimes.

Just sounds like a fan.. haha.. not loud at all. With the truck cranked you can hear something, but if you didnt know there was a fan mounted there you wouldnt know.

as far as being loud just find a truck with a clutch fan and open the hood and it sounds the same. or even ele. fans on high! not too bad
Gotta make money somehow.

You need to use a "Quick fill" type coolant filling system. They create a vacumm, then switch the lever and it sucks the coolant in.

Matco tools has a great one looks like a pistol with a hose on the end.

fill a bucket up with coolant,drop hose into bucket,insert pistol on resivoir opening,connect to air supply,pull trigger,create vac,switch lever and wah laa! Quick fill!

Whanna barrow it??

sounds awesome.. when i get my bigger reservoir i might just hook up a vacuum pump from work to a tank and hook it up that way. but thanks for the idea.
how big is it? the system holds alot of water. i think there is a leak on one of the fittings under the truck. Gonna check everything when i get home.

you know if you used a a/t civic radiator you could use the internal trans cooler as well to help keep trans temps down
