Radiator bout 190.00
Water pump 150.00
heater core?

Wife has a 98 grand the v8.yeah i have the v8 as well , does well on the freeway but its hell on gas in dem hills . so you got the radiator and water pump installed for that price or is that just parts ??

I dont have very many tools but could Do the radiator and water pump and maybe heater core depending in location of it.

[Mtn.man]

Just parts.

new parts is the way to go unless your on the road and short on cash (yep had to pull more than one part from a junkyard to get home )

Heater core is a Biatch. local shp charges about 550.00 just for the core.
Rad and water pump another 350. + you need coolant and probably new hoses and belt.

a few sks's (chicom , yugo ) im up to 6 of the damn things . anyway im hoping for something a little closer to 5 points but if i cant get it going downtown ill hit you up for sure .


ya know in all this im wondering why i didnt stick to wrench turning instead of being a staging rigger .... uggg is what it is

[glock21]

5 points huh? I work around the corner from you. If i cant make the gunshow ill bring the bayo to work.

You live in the Points- easy fix for ANY mechanical problem on ANY vehicle.

Purchase full coverage insurance.
"Accidentally" leave the keys in the vehicle.




The rest will take care of itself.[Coffee]

It is very clear now lol.

Before you swap the heater core try backflushing it.

The best place down there is Stan's Alignment. Their rates are fair and they have a good reputation. They are off Chester and Colfax. If I can't do it myself, I still use them even though I live in Conifer. The heater core won't be cheap.

Edit: Mike will give you a quote over the phone.

you know the difference between God and a Rigger?


God don't think he's a rigger. [ROFL1]

sorry I'm a squint... I had to.


All that aside.... I'm in cap hill and have a decent set of tools... enough to get the water pump and rad changed out at least... I have a 96 Grand myself... but if you have " the book" ( haynes or chilton) we should be able to do it .. and I agree with the back flush of the heater core unless it is leaking ...

whats the need to change out all this stuff anyways ?

+1 unless you know it is just leaking.

if it is just not getting hot enough this could be it. i flushed the one on my durango and it looked like the rig had puked, heater is nice and hot now.

radiator clogged six ways to sunday and the water pump is leaking water , heater core might be fine after the pump is swapped out

Try www.radiatorbarn.com and see if you can get a radiator any cheaper. I've used several radiators from them and have never had an issue.
