SMOKE' EM

My clutch has been weak for some time and my throwout bearing has been making a little bit of noise lately, but on my way to school today the throwout bearing was making a LOUD schreeching noise very loud everytime i pushed the clutch so i shifted the rest of the way without the clutch, then on my way back from school getting off the freeway i noticed my temp guage was really high, and it started smoking, so i pull over pop the hood and coolant is everywhere, after some further investigating i notice one of the fins on the fan broke and got thrown into the side of the radiator leaving a big hole, so now i need a new clutch, throwout bearing, fan, and radiator anyone know of any good places to get these parts

I got a radiator from Performance Radiator. Sold it to a TDR member in OH, as I sold the truck before installing the new one (long story- has to do with breaking down at 1 am outside Terre Haute IN and borrowing parts).

Clutch may/ may not be good, just need T.O. bearing. Been there, done that. South Bend, and the stock Sachs clutch are good units. DO NOT get a cheap LuK "upgrade" as it will hold less than your weak stocker. BTDT, too. Another option is to have your disc relined, but the shop that does it better know their stuff.

Replace the hoses while dong the radiator. The little heater hose with the 90deg bend is one that I have had go out on *3* different trucks. So it gets replaced with the filters when I get a new vehicle.

I am getting a radiator from O'Reillys for about $245. The clutch is what I am looking at getting right now. I have had good deals with blackclouddiesel.com with my stacks and so has my bro. I probably getting one from them. Not stock of course

The radiator I got was ~$140 IIRC, shipped to my door (ok, g/f's shop's door, but close enough; no more than $160). I saw it on ebay, but it turned out to be the same company they get ALL their radiators from.
