Need a new radiator

Well Nissan is putting a new radiator in my truck tomorrow, they had one overnighted from NY. I was losing about a gal. of coolent per 24 hours. I told them that I have the brake judder so that I can get new brakes while it's there although the brakes are not that bad yet...but I know the brakes are the original ones so whatever. I want new ones though!

Anyway...do they have to rip apart the whole front end? I have a bull bar and PIAA fog lights installed and I dont want them to messing with it.

Great...I just looked up how to remove the radiator and they have to remove my Volant. Plus...all the wires for my fog lights are zip-tied to the Volant duct work. They better not mess anything up.

If they have a new blade in the Saw-Zall, it will make nice clean cuts.

Just curious as to why your radiator was leaking.

Was it leaking from a seam, or was it somehow punctured???

Anyhow, hope they get it fixed right and soon.

Don't let bestatchess kid ya, everyone knows they don't use a saw-zall anymore. Plazma cutter is the way to go

Last time I saw the dealership take a front end off, they were using a crow bar and a hammer.

Ha ha guys. I'm not sure where the radiator was leaking from...I'll find out and post the results when I get the truck back.
