Default Radiator

Ebay has Spectra radiators in your price range, if you want a good custom built call Garth at TCP performance 866-375-9717, good people there and according to their site their radiators provide more cooling. Get that overflow jug off yet? Keep pulling.......

I got my rad on ebay for $90 some shipped, with lifetime warranty, id recommend it. For the bottle thing best way i found is using a pry bar on the bottom like stated. You can get a a quick disconnect tool at any parts store pretty cheap for the tranny line. Like people are sayin delete the check valve. I added another cooler from that line and bypassed the radiator completely, been workin good...

This is the rad like I bought - http://www.ebay.com/itm/BRAND-NEW-1-...c18f50&vxp=mtr

You can get the washer fluid jug out by taking a screwdriver and prying the tabs out one by one. You have to work the jug a little at the same time but it's doable.

And so it is with second generation Ram windshield washer reservoirs. First you figure out what her way is, then you just keep on doing it until finally the container in which the wetness is held has done what you set out to accomplish with it. If you don't have the patience and persistence to accomplish that, she'll never do what you want done for yourself.

Thats why I use a pry bar to get er' off faster, bigger tool = faster/better results
