Radiator Core Support Mounting?
My radiator core support has a lot of rust issues in critical areas.
I have ordered a new one with a new mounting kit. What is the correct order to assemble these parts to install the support ? |

Sure thing! I'm going to have to do the same thing once I start on the rust repair

Re: Radiator Core Support Mounting?
Before you disassemble take a measurement of the distance between the frame and the rad support. Have a look at your fender to door gaps before you start too. Often you have to adjust the shims a bit to get proper fender to door gaps.

Re: Radiator Core Support Mounting?
The link referenced in Post # 2 of this thread, shows an assembly order which is different from the installation video from Brother's trucks.
Which one is correct, rubber to FRAME, or rubber to SUPPORT |

Probably whatever makes the fenders match the doors the best?

Re: Radiator Core Support Mounting?
Page 109 of your yellow assembly manual. I just cant scan right now. And SkinnyG is right, it also says Shim As Required. Listing the washers as shim as I read it.
