How much of a pain is it to replace the radiator in an 04 XE? Thanks in advance

Very easy.

Drain it, disco the hoses, take off the shroud, unbolt the mounts, it comes right out....reverse to put the new one in.

I did a flush on mine first, as I was replacing the coolant anyway...to get the engine journals clean too.

You can swap in the radiator for the S/C model as a direct swap and upgrade w/o any mods btw.

I think mine took ~ 30 minutes total?

Thanks TJ!- Glad some of the old guard is still around these days.
