As they say a picture is worth a thousand words. If this cannot be found I will surely create one in the forums.

Anybody know of one or where else to look?

I've missed something: what year? Diesel? What happened to the radiator?

In looking at the radiator.. seems like you would unbolt it and have it drop down on your head and snake it out from there.. cant imagine any other way... can it actually come out the front somehow? I was wondering what it might be like to do a waterpump on the Diesel engine.. Shhhh.. i dont really want to know..

its back at a couple posts in I think but here it is again. 1975 Argosy with the 454 that I just purchased. Radiator is rotted out.

One can re-do a water pump, change the upper fuel filter, change-out the belts and hoses with the dog house removed.

Yeah I gathered that from some research this afternoon on the forums, but has nobody photo documented what it takes to remove the front grill area to get at the radiators?? I probed for quite a while yesterday looking at the front end of the MH and was completely baffled as to how it comes off.

Vinnie,

No-doze were the daze.

Jack the front end up a ways before dropping the radiator on your head. Not only will it then have more inertia when it lands on you, but it'll be high enough up so you can clear the rest of the chassis with it to remove it.

Yikes!

Just remember old radiators that are full of many years of sediment are real heavy compared to a new one.
