Nonstop, It turns clockwise, and as far as I can tell it's the right ones for the engine size I checked the GM Heritage web site and downloaded my trucks build information, for the 6.2 Diesel and the 5.7 (350) it calls for a Rad. thats a little over 2 inches thick, this one is lucky to be an inch and a half on the core, so I think I just might have found my problem.

Kaysen, Thanks, yeah it is too small.
