Free,that's a really good thought.
I took a look at the AC lines going into the condenser and they are completely rusted. About to fall apart. I ordered them today. I am putting dye in the system after I install the new lines. AC does not work at all now. Just another thing to add to the list.

Sysco,you're right. I could always return.
ITT,that's a great price. I just hate plastic tanks. I'll keep it in mind though. Thanks.
ATE,the trans lines are something I am worried about.i want to have pressure fittings. I do not want a hose with 2 worm clamps.
Did u reuse your old fittings?or buy new ones?where?

Water pump was done by PO,just prior to me buying.
I'm replacing fan clutch,thermostat ,rad cap,rad hoses,serp belt,stat housing gasket,idler pulley,water pump tube,heater hoses (deleting heater valve),all clamps,and of course anti freeze with distilled water mix.
Am I forgetting anything?

^^^correct^^^
And using distilled water is the cleanest water you can use.
Tap,and in my case well water,has minerals in the water that can leave deposits throughout the cooling system. Not good.
Always use distilled h2o in your cars and trucks.
And always collect yor used coolant in a 5 gallon bucket and bring to a shop that accepts collection. It is bad for your family and the neighbors downhill.
