Radiator...

[hockeymanam]

I know i have read a hundred threads about radiators on here for the last two years i have been on here. Today i took my H3 in the shop because the trans dip stick came out of place and i lost all my trans oil.... i guess i broke the seal when i took it out to replace the header a while ago... anyways while the mechanic was troubleshooting that he found that my radiator had a small leak and he highly recommend i get that fixed soon.. he quoted 987$. 420 for radiator and then he would have to decompress the A/C and flush the block. does this price seem a little much? HELP?!?!

Silla radiator is 130-150 online and IMHO a better radiator than the OEM (better transmission cooler setup). You don't need to do anything with the HVAC. Just remove you old radiator, replace, and refill with coolant. Took me from start to finish maybe an hour and a half. The radiator comes out rather easy in our H3's vs other vehicles. I'd just do it yourself and save some serious $$$$.

So all that stuff about flushing the block and disconnecting the A/C isn't necessary? I know a lot about cars but under the hood is a foreign language for me still

Hockeymanam you almost got took! Its very easy to change out. And no way do you have to do anything to the A/C period. That would be fixing something that isn't broke. If your radiator leaks, you need a new one. Only when your A/C stops working do you let someone mess with it.................. If the gents say they have had good luck with the Silla get that one. I did mine a month ago but I used OEM. Was like 3 something for the radiator and I installed it myself. YouTube a video if needed and save that money brother!
