First find out exactly where the leak is! Then if it has to come off Pull the fan and shroud off Radiator and all the front engine attachments. Not fun but has to be done!
Some things are worth paying someone else to do!

Hey if he trusts you enough to tear into his truck and your getting paid for it go for it!! Order the gaskets and seal kit so there is no down time!
