Thread: Parking bulb replacement and leaves in the radiator

I see some good ol' pine straw there! A North Carolina staple that ends up EVERYWHERE! Smackboy - good tip, scary consequences!

awe - word to the wise... the youtube vid is awesome ! BUT take the damn screwdriver out of your hand when wiggling the inside of the truck out so you dont smack it into the paint like the guy in the vid does AND dont leave the condensor hanging!!! - put a block of wood or a paint can or something under it to support the weight! For me taking the headlights out was helpful (and a quick step) since you saved a ton of money from NOT going to...

Can I play?

pongobaz you didn't show all of the mulch that was between the ac radiators and the H2o radiators.

Good Job!! How hard is it to take off the front bumper? Do you mean the whole thing, the big bumper/facia piece that wraps around from the front of the front wheels? I need to do that to...

And while you're in a cleaning kind of mood, check the front and rear drains and clean those out too. If the car has ever been stored outdoors, they will probably be full of crap. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index...&hl=cab++drain

Bulbs are $5 from Pelican by the way. I bought a half dozen to spread out the shipping cost. They burn out too quickly, but like you say at least they're easy to change....and they look cool.

+1 remove the bumper and rotate the AC Condenser, you'll be amazed at how much build up it has. I did it for the first time last spring. It was an easy task. You may want a buddy to help you remove the bumper cover and put it back on but if you go slow it's can be a one man job. It really should be an annual maintenance item. There are good instructions on Loren's site Renntech.com. Going slow it only took me an hour or so.
