Drove my car to a buddies house and noticed I was leaking coolant from the bottem passenger side of the radiator. Didn't take a real close look at it due to the fact i was in nice cloths. How hard is it to replace if it's bad?? Taking it to the shop tomorrow for rear-end gears, don't know if i should have them do it or just take a swing at it myself once its done. What all should i watch out for when i start taking it apart?

 

rad is so easy to replace. it depends why it is leaking. if its passenger side it could just be the drain valve leaking and it just got loose. but if there is a crack in teh rad and needs to be replace it takes all of 20 minutes to do. the two brackets on top that hold it down. undo both rad hoses. pull rad straight out. place new rad in its place. and reverse order to reinstall. any questions, let me know

 

Thanks, ill take a look at it tomorrow before work and see what it is. Maybe order them later that day and have em before the shop is done.

 

if you get a new rad you'll be more than satisfied with the summit dual row aluminum rad.

 

Ok, i was thinking of getting the 180* therm also, always had a bit of an overheating issue with this car. Might change the head gasketalso ifneither of those work.
