Coolant Overflow bottle

1992 pickup putting in 6L

Can i run my stock overflow bottle or does it have to be from a truck that was equipped with that motor?

if you use the stock radiator or a radiator from an OBS truck then you can use the stock overflow bottle.

if you swap to the 99+ radiator you have to get the coolant jug for that radiator. just swap to a 5.7 radiator imo i regret the hassle of swapping over.
250 for the efans an harness
100 for the radiator that i had to modify
92.00 for the coolant jug, radiator cap from the dealer bc no one had it

[92 6.0]

Thats what Im using. I got a radaitor for a 92 1 ton and have 05 efans.

damn, my buddy works at a body shop and i picked up a massive radiator from him that i got to fit. As far as fittings they are the same as my stocker. what makes the new radiators need the newer coolant bottle. Is there anything i should look for that would let me know if i can run the radiator i put in?

The new radiator does not have provisions for a filler cap/water neck.

ohh. ok, cool

since the newer pump has a heater out AND return can i use the old heater return fitting on the radiator (top near filler neck) for the steam line?

in my 98 k2500, i bought a radiator from Carquest Autoparts that came out of dallas, it cost me 162.00 and was all metal with brass tanks, engine oil and trans cooler, and was for a 98 4x4 with 7.4L v8, what they called a ''supercooler'' radiator. it actually spung a leak once, but i pulled it out and in 10 minute with a torch and a berillium soldering iron, it was fixed and only cost me the price of some lead soldering wire.
