Hi guys, I'm putting in a new 1-800-radiator 3 row radiator and I have a question. According to the service manual installing a stock replacement radiator seems pretty straight forward. But it seems that there is always a tip or tool they leave out. With the wider 3 row radiator how much trimming do I need to do? Any tips or tricks would be appreciated. Thanks, Mike

 

Uh... unless this rad company doesn't know what they're doing when designing, no trimming needed. My two row installed with plenty of room leftover. I imagine a 3 row would be just fine.

 

I've got a 3-row in mine and it just dropped right in. No modifications needed.

 

You will need some of these tools to get the cooler lines off and the condenser line if you have AC.

 

I believe a 3 row is only 1/4" thicker than a OE 1 row, shouldn't pose a problem.

 

Yeah mine is a 3row CSF, is it? Anyway, it dropped right in without any mods.
