leaking radiator help

[redneckracer01]

I have a 2003 8.1 with the 5 speed Allison tranny and I belive the fitting that screws into the radiator is leaking. Its the upper steal line on the drivers side that goes straight in tothe side tank of the radiator. How hard are these to change and if so what kind of project am I looking at

you need a basic idea of what your looking at and a skill level 5 out of 10 ,

 

it is an easy project with a difficult level of 3 out of 10

 

thats to replace the rad ,not hillbilly fix it

You should be able to get the fotting at your local auto house or hydraulic supply. Shouldnt take more than 20 minutes to replace. Pull the line, unscrew the fitting, the reverse.
