Rough Idle
It's a vacuum leak. Check your fuel trims. (Not directed at you) Why does this site not have a sticky on vacuum leaks and lean conditions? So tired of the same old questions over and over...- SLCHOE

Oil cooler line replacement 6.0 Vortec
Yah but not all the way. You can get by just dropping it down with a jack leaving axles and such intact. Not really a big deal.- SLCHOE

Parking brake adjustment question
Gotcha. In your case, yes you could adjust the cable at the 1 to 2 splitter. As for wear, they may have been adjusted too tight when they were replaced or likely not adjusted at all (which would make them tight).- SLCHOE

Changing brakes
Stop doing that. When you pump the pedal, pump it slowly only to about 50% the way down until you have a somewhat firmer pedal. Pumping it like a madman just moves the air back towards the master cylinder which is what you dont want. Same with the guy pumping while you bleed the brakes using...- SLCHOE

Parking brake adjustment question
I suspect you don't have much as far as parking brake shoes left at all with that rigging. Time to do the parking brake shoes and if your rear brake pads are low, just do it all like the guy above. New rotors, new shoes and hardware kit, new backing plate and new pads and hardware.- SLCHOE

Weird problem with 4th gear

Aluminum Radiator Support?
I may be wrong. Didn't see your post last time I looked. Missed it. Those welds look kinda crappy though. That's all I was saying. LOL- SLCHOE

Aluminum Radiator Support?
Judging by those welds, that's not a factory part. Looks like China eBay stuff.- SLCHOE

Changing brakes
It's not hard at all. If the brake caliper brackets have never been off the truck before, get yourself a nice little propane torch to heat up the bolts securing it them to the splindle. GM uses some pretty strong loctite on those and they can make a 250 lb man let loose a few choice words...- SLCHOE

Rear brakes question-troubleshoot with me?
Did you bed the new pads? New brakes will get hot and smoke at first. Nothing to be worried about if you take it out and proprly bed the pads. Pad/slapping is only going to make more stench and smoke. If you do brakes, just replace the pads AND rotors.- SLCHOE
