For maybe the most popular vehicle sold in between 92-96 The F150. I went to o Reilly's first (before i took the truck apart) had it apart and ready to go back together in 20 mins. Put the new Radiator in and WOW its WAY to thick. So I call the O Reilly's and make sure they gave me the right number. They did and theirs no way to make this work. I take it back and the kid tell me (after they decided they didn't have what I need) that I should just try some radiator stop leak :facepalm:. So I leave there to go to Advanced... They tried selling me either another HUGE radiator or this radiator that wasn't even a cross flow style! So I then call NAPA and Carquest... both wanted 250(everywhere else wanted between 120-140) bucks and didn't even have it in stock. I end up calling auto zone... THEY HAVE ONE but it's in BS. So I drive to Blue Springs, it looks close enough to it that I buy it. Get it back to my shop and it doesn't even have the holes for my fan shroud!!! So what should of taken me an hour at max has taken me all day and I still had to fabricate on the new radiator!
Can someone tell me why it was such a pain in the dick to get a replacement radiator for a fucking FORD F150!!! I mean I could see if it was a IH Scout or some shit you never see anymore...but a F150!? REALLY!?
Sorry I had to rant to somebody.
