Get the best radiator you can - there's been some recent debate on which is best.


Drain coolant into container - throw away where animals won't get it.

Remove all hoses and trans ATF cooling lines.

Oh - this is too long - check the FAQs, you'll get a lot of good info there, in addition the what your shop manuals (Haynes or Bentley) will tell you.

Put in a new thermostat, they're inexpensive. Refill with new coolant - green antifreeze 50/50 with steam distilled water.

Allow a half day, should take less.

Good Luck,

Bob
