I'm just kidding. But yeah i think im going to go with this radiator from what people have told me. And at 180 shipped not a bad price. Thanks again everyone!

Just put one in last weekend Hardest part was getting the lower trans cooler line off with the special tool and back on the new one. I went and bought the metal version of the tool since my plastic set just wasn't working. I believe it was 5/16" or 1/4".

Also one word of advice is to clean the paint off all the threads of the studs on the new rad. One of my studs on the top rad mount broke when the nut seized up.

Good luck.

Now would be a good time to do the water pump, thermostat. Especially the water pump while the rad is out. Before you change it you can drain the cooling system and fill with Vinegar and water and run for an hour for a flush so that way you dont get that loose stuff in the new radiator. Be sure to Capture all the old coolant and dispose of properly.good luck.
