I am installing a new radiator in this truck and want to know how much fluid (antifreeze mix) to put in the system after the new radiator is in place.

Thanks

Well before you fill it, make sure you have a good or new thermostat, might save some trouble later, and with no coolant in it, nows the time to do it...that said, I just mix up two gallons of 50-50 blend, fill then start, wait for the thermostat to open, you should see the level drop, then top off to hot fill line on tank, close system, and that's all there is to it! Now you may have a half gallon or so ready just in case!
