anything can go wrong oil change

[maddzz1]

I had to buy a drain pan to change my oil so instead of buying the nice 10 quart covered one i decide to save 5 bucks and buy the cheap one which only holds about 5 quarts apparently(you can see where this is going). First the plug pops out and oil shoots past the pan. Is it just me or does this happen to everyone? As i see the pan filling i remember that the truck has more oil than the pan can hold!! So I put the plug back in and go to pour the oil in a jug but because its the cheapie it pours fast and knocks the funnel over pouring oil all over my sneakers.

 

Then while under the truck i realize my radiator is rotted away. some places have none of the fins or whatever you call the thin stuff in the middle of the radiator. I'm talking like 8 rows about 7 inches long in different plsaces. while i am changing it i assume i will change to the open system. whats the best place for the 3 core conversion radiator? thanks

when i did mine, i got one from http://www.dpgoffroad.com/. right now, they're $155 for a stock 87-90 which is less than a regular napa one off the shelf. $175 for 91-97 i think it said, and 155 again for 1998-2001

Open systems are overrated. But having a radiator with a cap on it is cool. :D

Wish I would have seen that high flow housing and pump before I replaced everything yesterday :wall: Oh well, guess I'll do it on my new motor.
