[QUOTE="letsgetthisdone, post: 1545830, member: 32303"] I was able to pull the radiator without removing the AC condenser from the truck. Remove the fans first, then you can lean the radiator back enough to pull the condenser bracket off the radiator. Biggest thing is remove the air box, not just the intake pipe/hose whatever you want to call it so you have room to move the radiator over to clear the AC lines as its coming out. And have zip ties (go to a real hardware store and by quality zip ties with metal lock tabs) to re-secure the wiring harness as about half the clips that hold various wiring leads and the main harness on the fan shroud broke. I ended up pulling the condenser anyways because the condenser mount/bracket thing was broken, hoping to find one of those locally today. So i haven't put the new rad back in. I'll have a bunch of pics for a build thread I think. The truck also got full suspension build this week with lots of cool parts. :) I bought all new hoses (upper and lower rad, and both heater hoses), but they honestly didn't need replaced. Other than being dirty, they have the same texture and squishy-ness as the new ford hoses. They probably would have easily lasted until the next coolant flush. I talked to my dad about it who worked on the North Las Vegas Police fleet (all ford); he retired in 2018 and basically since about the late 2000's, OEM these hoses typically last "forever" as long as they don't get cut or abraded. At least from his experience with the ford fleet at the city. My belt is showing no signs of crack, even where it bends over the tensioner pulley so I'm not worried about it, and I keep a spare in the truck. [/QUOTE]
