97 F-150 Supercab, 4.6, Flareside, 2WD. So, I am pretty sure my radiator support has given up the ghost. I am getting intermittent rubbing of the fan blades against the underside of the shroud. The question is, if I am going to get in there, what else should I plan on doing while I'm there (227,000 miles)? I am planning on the support itself, radiator, fan, belt, water pump, hoses, clamps. In other words, nothing terribly expensive. I drive it only a couple thousand miles per year, mostly Home Depot runs. No towing.

I say don't replace any of that stuff unless you see anything wrong. I'd have new front body mounts and hardware on hand since they rust up too. My replacement support lacked some of the female threads that the stock one did and I had to find some nuts and bolts for a couple brackets. I think it was M8x1.0 stuff.

Thanks. I do have the body mounts on hand.
