Obviously you want Nic Cage's blessing.

 

@Sperrunner doestch spindles are the same as the fabtech ones with dimensions right? How have your's been? Was gonna go that route bc they are ~$80 cheaper than fabtech

 

For the 4 on the radiator? Nah, not needed. Normal pliers/channellocks/needlenose/your fingers are fine.

 

Yea it is

 

@xtremewlr Got under the truck yesterday and coated the clutch master cylinder slave with PB blaster all around the boot n stuff. Truck's clutch is SILENT once again. Thank you so much man!!!

 

I hear they are making a 7th as well.

 

it wasn't the pedal spring assembly that was squeaking inside the cab?
i eliminated that spring squeak in mine the other day, hopefully more than a few years until i need to do that again

 

I thought at first, but then I held door open and pumped the clutch. Sound was definitely from under the truck so I coated it and it worked. I also did the spring assembly and stuff on the inside, but sound was exterior to the truck. I COATED it all yesterday, and today it's quiet again!

 

i never ask for anything HENCE i am never disappointed!

learned that as a very very youngster when parents refused to get me a video entertainment system year after year after year...
finally ended up buying my own many years after with some paper route monies

 

i did hear a noise outside as well as inside, i will keep my ears open
i pretty much coated everything underneath there with anti corrosion spray and lubricated it all i could reach with the spray gun

have a mess of sand i need removed

 

If you wanna spend the money, Channellock makes a nice pair of hose clamp pliers. But I doubt you'll find them locally.

 

Definitely try the clutch master cylinder slave. I sprayed by the boot and just pumped the clutch for a bit. Didn't fix it at first but drove the truck later in the day and it was gone. Just had to soak and seep. For me it sounded almost like a grindy-creaky nasty sound at like 80% depression of clutch

 

Cool, glad that was it!

 

@eon_blue
@Sperrunner

Think I can get my bumper on before Tyler?

 

Super thankful!! Sounded disgusting prior to the fix; so grindy, creaky, metal grinding sound with like 80% depression of clutch. Was worried at first bc it didn't resolve immediately-- was prolly due to our rain in Az. Got in the truck later in the day and from soaking and seeping the sound is gone!!

 

Only specialty clamp plier tool I've used for clamps like that is actually really sweet. But for the radiator might not need this tool, well, I know you don't need it because i didn't use my tool for it lolllll, needed It for a different job on a S2000 because you couldn't get to the blend valve hoses on the firewall without pulling the engine. This tool was a godsend:

Wasn't that exact one. But same principle. If buying, research which brand, etc. I thought mine was a Lisle brand but don't see a Lisle one like that in a quick search

 

Yes

 

Daaaaaamn. But I will admit to you that that actual OEM spec'ed radiator is higher quality than the Denso aftermarket units. Now that doesn't necessarily mean the Denso won't last as long, etc... It simply means that the OEM radiator is just a higher quality unit. Of course it will cost more.

The Denso I've had in for 3.5 years now.
