Well the radiator came in today and it looks BADA$$. It was pouring down rain so I didn't get to install it today which sucks but I did get my efans mounted to it. So this weekend ill get it in there the lower radiator hose looks like its going to be a pain in the butt. For you guys that's going to be doing this upgrade you will need the transmission line tool which is a lisle part # 39960 10 bucks, and will need a lower radiator hose Goodyear part # 62039 17 bucks.

also easier to pull the oil filter off to put the new hose on so have a filter and oil ready

That's how I removed my old radiator was by removing the entire nut but I don't want to have to do that with the new radiator I'd rather spend the ten bucks lol

Hey Guys had this mod on for a year and love it I had to make custom mounts for the Troyer efans but other than that it was a breeze use the special tool for the lines those were a pain in the butt. The radiator fits right in no problem and if you got the goodyear lower radiator hose then you are all set I have picks of the install and everything in my album I believe but if you have any question feel free as far as the factory shroud I had e-fans so I dont know.
