    Who ever think this part is hard to install, probably don't even know how to check the oil level as well. I had fun replacing it. It took me 3 1/2 hours to do it and didn't even let A/C refrigerant out. All I had to do is run back to store and get a different hose fitting, which is only [$].Everything came in the package with all hardware. My wife driving this car every day 60 to 80 miles a day and about a month since replacement. Always normal temperature and no leaks. Good luck with your purcase!

    The radiator was bought as a direct fit for a 1999 Chrysler Town & Country. It is tough to get access to the radiator to ac condenser mounting bolts without evacuating AC system, but I did it. Went to install replacement and had trouble aligning bolts back up only to find the holes drilled 1/8" off from original. Wasted an hour and got very frustrated trying to make it fit until I compared the original. Used a small chainsaw file to slot the holes to get it in. Once in, the overflow hose barb and hold down clips are too small. Had to over crush the hose clamp or buy adaptor. The drain petcock is not identical, so if that goes bad in the future there will be no replacement.

          Exact match for OEM. Did not have to discharge AC as advised by the supplied instructions. Took a few hours to install. One week since installation and so far so good. Overall satisfied with the radiator.

                  The only hickup I had was the missing Transmission Oil Cooler Like O-ring. The local Advance here had an assortment with the right size for an additional $4.00. My Dyear old son and my 7 year old daughter installed it with me in a leasurly 4 hours or so including distractions. It was at my door 2 days after order. I'd buy it again.

                    This radiator was pretty easy to install, once the fasteners, hoses, etc. were removed from the original one. About a 4 hour job. Everything lined up very nicely.
