- Drain radiator and engine block. See Coolant, draining and
filling
(V-8 models).
WARNING -
Allow cooling system to cool before opening or draining the
system.
- Disconnect mass air flow (MAF) sensor electrical harness
connector. Remove air intake duct together with MAF sensor.
- Remove mechanical cooltng fan and fan shroud. See Me-
chanical (viscous clutch) cooling fan, removing and
