Default Radiator & Fuel Pump

I found a pretty good deal on ebay on a new CSF 2969 radiator=$208.20 shipped and a Denso fuel pump=$152.61 shipped(made in USA) in case anyone else is in need of either one.
We have been slow @ the Battery Plant ever since NoBama got back in office so we are shutting down all next week so I plan on getting them changed out then.
The radiator is a thing of beauty for sure, it came from Houston in about 4 days.

Whew!!!! Your forgiven.......good thing I didn't have more time before work this morning to get a online order going or I would have a Delphi on the way. I did not want to put in a crappy pump and have to do it again in a yr. or less. I am going to drop the tank since my straps look good instead of raising the bed when I install it. Thanks!

Your post was what gave me the incentive to buy one and change it out BEFORE I have problems on the road. I drained the anti-freeze last night so I have started the swap I guess.

Default Job done

I finished the install of my radiator a couple days ago which was pretty simple since every thing fit just great, only thing I did not like was the lack of a place to hook a hose when draining the radiator plus the plug used a flat rubber washer for sealing which I replace with a aluminum washer from a motorcycle oil pan drain plug which worked great.
The fuel pump replacement was my first on this truck and hopefully my last since it was kind of a pain in the anus. I manage to break the cheesy plastic fuel line fitting going to the pump so after going to the dealer and finding they were discontiued on 96-99 trucks I had to improvise so came home and did some internet searching and came up with a Doorman 800-121 for a fix in case this happens to anyone else with that year of Ram. Happy Easter to all!!
