Wow! That looks like a really cold day for a wash. I tried doing it once when there was still snow on the ground and it turned my driveway into an ice-skating rink!
Not too bad actually. Was probably mid 40's by the time I finished up. The sun worked the driveway all afternoon so that water evaporated off, but I've definitely made that mistake before!

Yeah we have the vehicles in the shop that sit out in the freezing temps and the soap/water freezes on it LOL

Finally got the old radiator out. It's definitely a 2-man job to wiggle it out. BTW, you have to pull the condenser bracket UP about 1.5" before you can pry the radiator tank apart from it, and only then can you separate the radiator body from the plastic condenser bracket. And that's after removing the shroud, 6-7 plugs, both the power steering and the transmission cooler hoses, and the fuse box bracket. Thanks again to Ford engineers for using exclusively only black parts on everything, so it's twice as difficult to figure out how to take it apart.

Baja designs has squadrons and s2 in ir, both 850 and 940 nm, personally I’d go with 850 unless you’re trying to be super covert but you’re going to lose a lot of output with 940.
850 are what I was looking for. No need to bee stealthy when you're in a big blue loud Raptor

I looked at a bunch of videos, and nobody mentioned that little detail. I was prepared to disconnect the condenser lines and pull out both of them together. Now, ironically, I ordered a new condenser because (in the words of Hillary "Canckles" Clinton), "What difference does it make?" I'm already replacing the water pump, tensioner, idler wheels, thermostat, radiator and radiator hoses, trans cooler & trans lines, flushing the power steering, and doing the fuse 27 upgrade.

Starting prepping the truck for the Florida run. Trying a new bed arrangement. I prefer the tires by the tailgate, but it isn’t ideal for my current setup, so I am trying something new.
