Working to replace the drivers side radiator. New one arrives tomorrow and should be ready to go right in.

Removing the front bumper cover is quite easy and reveals the plastic scoop things. Then when you pull them off, out falls a pile of leaves.



Not the dog, just the leaves.



Next is to loosen the AC condenser to see what's back there.



You have all heard it before, but CLEAN those radiators!!!!

You can see the leaking along the bottom of the rad. It's corroded/rotten like.





I'd like to meet the guy who installed this clamp. Top hose, against the frame rail. Luckily, it has a 7mm hex on the clamp and a 1/4" drive ratchet fits in there and can swing a bit to loosen it.



New rad tomorrow and we may be non-overheating.....
