There is no problem installing a oem 3 row radiator. The only tough part is the quick connector for the transmission tube at the bottom of the radiator. I had a tough time getting that connector apart. I unscrewed the connector and worked the small steel ring holding the tube in place with a small screwdriver. After getting the connector apart, I straightened out the ring and reused it again on the new radiator. I also checked with my local junk yard and purchased a new radiator for $125. If you have some time you can pick up a radiator on E-bay for about $70 with free shipping. Removing the radiator was easier than I thought, It took about 1 hour to get the old one out and the new one in. You have to remove the 4 bolts and 2 nuts on the cross member on top of the radiator where the hood latch is located. After taking that bracket off you can get to all the bolts holding the radiator in place. Looks like a lot of work, but after getting the top bracket off everything went quick.
