Ron continues helping out from beyond the grave. 500 miles away from home and I needed to change out my radiator (trans cooler leaking) and Ron was able to show me the easy way to get the shroud out without resorting to cutting. Here it is a Sunday, actually New Years Eve Day and the parts store in Flagstaff had a radiator in stock and I was able to get it swapped out. Thanks you again Ron..RIP...hopefully his channel is still paying out to his family.

Had to replace my radiator and like others, I found this video extremely helpful, especially for getting the fan shroud out and back in. Watch it a few times to see how he manipulates it around. While people have done this job in an hour, I drained my system out the petcock to be neat, and that is slow. Got almost 3 gallons out. My truck is a 2004 with the threaded trans cooler lines and they did not want to come loose so more time spent letting PB Blaster soak in. Had to resort to using a flare nut wrench with a pipe extension to get one fitting loose, which worked but I considered it risky. Was sad to learn that Ron had died, although I see he posted a lot of videos and I may need another one in the future. His legacy will live on.

Ron, you are awesome. Over the past two years, your videos have kept me from driving my 2003 6.0 off a cliff or, in the alternative, it bankrupting me. Great that you showed both types of trans oil cooler lines because that is what I need to replace on mine. They are all rusted out up front. Sadly, the rust is so bad that the nuts that screw into the radiator are pretty much gone without me even trying to put a wrench on them. Guessing I am going to have to go with heat and vise grips, along with a prayer. Watched your video 20 times on how to replace the EGR cooler to oil cooler blue hose and got it done. Of course, it only took me about 3 hours to accomplish the task and I had a torx wrench that made it simple. Hard part for me was getting the metal case off.

Thanks, the video was very useful to me when I had to replace the serpentine belt tensioner on a 2004 F450 6.0. Apparently the Ford procedure is to remove the rad in order to access the tensioner but it was easy enough to do after removing just the fan shroud. The video showed me how to remove the fan shroud. I did a lot of searching on the internet to find out about accessing the tensioner and this video was the only one that helped.

Fiesta Ford in So Cal. Radiator do not like drastic pressure changes or temperature changes. Egr coolers fail from restricted oil coolers or being low on coolant. Head gaskets fail from a poor design (I wrote that to keep the flames down) and from mods and heat. Radiators fail from spikes if heat or pressures. The coolant bottle is the main leaks I find .

God rest your soul Ron. You are the MASTER diesel tech.
He made it look easy pure talent right there
I watched 30 seconds and paused to go buy that ratchet off eBay. Great videos.
Ron your a natural, you keep flowing swiftly when you work, its nice working on the same stuff because you get so good at it, looks like you could do it blind folded if u wanted
Ron helping a brother out. ❤
Thanks, the video was very useful to me when I had to replace the serpentine belt tensioner on a 2004 F450 6.0. Apparently the Ford procedure is to remove the rad in order to access the tensioner but it was easy enough to do after removing just the fan shroud. The video showed me how to remove the fan shroud. I did a lot of searching on the internet to find out about accessing the tensioner and this video was the only one that helped.
Gone but not forgotten and still doing good things for others.
Your still helping us out. R.I.P. Ron

Thank you sir! You r still teaching us from up about! RIP sir
Fiesta Ford in So Cal. Radiator do not like drastic pressure changes or temperature changes. Egr coolers fail from restricted oil coolers or being low on coolant. Head gaskets fail from a poor design (I wrote that to keep the flames down) and from mods and heat. Radiators fail from spikes if heat or pressures. The coolant bottle is the main leaks I find .
Great video. The only thing I would change is when reinstalling the radiator and shroud would be to put them together. They slide in much easier and less change of damaging the radiator fins. Thanks!
Man I MISS this guy ): Hope the family is doing well.
That was just the trick to get the fan shroud out. Thank you!
WOW that was easy. Got a quote for 720 buks. Radiator costs 202. You just saved me 500 buks. THANK YOU!!!

Just changed my radiator following the video and was pretty easy. Only had trouble trying to remove one oil cooler adapter so just left it on.
Very nice and informative! I immediately subscribed. I am working on my radiator now and this was very helpful.
Great quick little video!
Ron you are the man! Great video, you make it look easy sir!
thanks a million Boss man. you saved my life.
Nice vid. You make it look super easy.
Changed my radiator last night thanks to your great video. I also had brownish/reddish fluid in the bottom of my radiator (like the one you change shows dripping on your arms). Being that Ford's coolant is bright yellow, is this a sign of a failing/leaking oil cooler? Thanks for all your great videos! Most helpful!
Which video shows what to do if the small nipple on the 6.0 radiator breaks solution?
Awesome ! , I wished I would of found this video long ago !
WHAT WAS TO ROOT CAUSE OF THE RADIATOR FAILURE? BLOWN HEAD GASKETS? EGR COOLER?
We love you Ron
WOW, Ron you made that look too easy. Like "The Cat" asked why do people cut it? Thanks for sharing this

because it can be a bitch to remove, and most people dont know about removing the pos cable going past the front of the rad for the extra room, it is a tight fit:P
Thanks man, great video!
I realize this video was 9 years ago, but I am about to replace a radiator on a customer's vehicle in two days. He has a 6.0 diesel F-150 or 250 2004. They offered the all aluminum radiator for about $200 less than a OEM radiator with plastic mended with aluminum. Just looking for advice before I get myself into trouble.
