Send me your e-mail address and I'll send several pics of mine.I got hose valve at Walmart for $2.00. 3 ft of 3/4" copper tube at junk yard.... $$4.00. I JB Welded the end of the tubing shut and also used it to attach the nozzle/valve to the other end. Then I used a hack saw and cut a groove in flattened end of copper tube. Took all of an hr to make and works well.

I do not care what anyone says it cannot be cleaned well while in the truck because you cannot get a wand in there to blow from the inside to outside. if you are lucky you might blow the oily crap off the outside of the rad but it will still have dirt/oil embedded inside the fins.

I'm sorry but there is no way to clean it properly unless you remove it, its not a hard job and you run less risk of damaging fins if you can apply water straight on vice at an angle
