What's that funky Lokar dipstick reading going to look like....

I’ve never prefilled the oil cooler . Hook up the lines start the truck put in drive and reverse check oil level . The cooler doesn’t hold that much oil in the first place

Re: Inexpensive Radiator I Need One.

I wouldn't worry about filling up the trans fluid tubes in the radiator. Just start the engine, check the fluid level, and add whatever is required. I'd guess it's less than one pint.
