I'm replacng my radiator this weekend and i wanted to know if there were any major issues i should be aware of. Is this a fairly easy "swap" or what? It looks like as long as i hook up the fans the correct way to the new one i should be abe to drop it right in. Let me know wassup. Thanks!

When u replace the radiator, probably the only problem you will have is that the fan plugs are hard to take off. other than that you should (if u have an automatic) mark the cooler lines from the transmission so you remember which one went where.
its basically very easy...disconnect everything, pull it out and put it in.
i say its a nice time to give ur car some new hoses as well....and if u do that a thermostat wont hurt either.
before putting back the radiator in, put all the hoses on the radiator to save you some time...
the only problem i had in my car was that one of the fan connectors wouldnt come off...after 30 minutes of yelling, it just slipped off haha.
some people take off the fans first cause they dont have enough room though....its up to u though =)What makes me laugh about forums, is that no matter how much you try to help someone, they dont take the advice. Go ahead and do it the hard way.
You got to respect what you drive, and appreciate what you have, making the best of what you got. and if that means putting CAI, HID's, a phat stereo system, and a idiot in the drivers seat...then so be it!
