    It has been a few years since I have had the Charge Air Cooler out so I dont recall which side comes out first. Hopefully, someone will come forward and let me know. Obviously, it is Passenger or Driver's side first, but is there anything else that I need to do to get it out? (Such as lift up on Driver's side then go out around the radiator)

    Not sure what you mean, there is a specific way it comes out and I am not sure of the procedure.

    remove grill stand up in hole to remove AC. con. will fold out of way without removing lines and loseing ac freon, cooler will have 4 bolts with rubber replace them if worn/thru.4 new hose on cooler then a helper can put in p/u truck to get tested, clean RAD. while cooler is out.Tape up intake on eng.. so trash cant get intake.

    I have completed all the steps except for taking the CAC (Charge Air Cooler) out. It doesn't fit around the Radiator. Like I said it has been a few years since I have had the CAC out and I have forgotten how it comes out. Whatever it is, is very easy, just cant remember the procedure.

    Well I end up getting it out without removing the radiator. FYI......When uninstalling the CAC the passenger side comes out first. It was very tight fit but I made it work.

    I'd remove hood, it is easy

    after that many shops use to remove radiator and CAC together
