Hi everyone, i recently got my jeep back from the body shop and noticed that my radiator is leaking coolant. After some searching i found that one of the shroud bolts was tightened enough that it punched a hole in side tank of the radiator. So i am looking for a good write-up on how to replace my radiator. Does anyone have any experience doing this? Any help would be great.

Thanks
Ben

Unfortunately the body shop only did work to the rear quarter panel and denies touching anything in the engine compartment. My luck it is just a coincidence. Looks like I'm going to look into it before tackling this project

Finally got to my radiator replacement this weekend. Between my uncle and I, it took us about 3 and a half hours to do. We ended up having to take the radiator plus the fan shroud all out at once. Which i was expecting to do after reading on here a bit. I bought the new one from rockauto.com for 135 $ made by spectra. From what I've read on here, some of you had good luck with them. Only issue we had was one of the mounts was slightly bigger than the oem. Here is a picture. I will have to agree, it was a major pita.
