New Thanks!
I'll definitely add that to my list of options. Dobbs said they would install a radiator if I managed to get one somewhere else cheaper. That would take the price down to:

$462.97 without tax and shipping. Not counting hoses, not sure if the hoses come with it.

I hadn't tried looking online yet, I was waiting to see what other options were available. Besides, I've spent half the day on the phone getting the information I've already gotten.

The Thermostat costs listed include installation, so I assume that's more labor cost?

Thanks again!

Brenda

loosen fan shroud, several bolts (or do what I do, throw it away, its annoying.) the radiator is held down by two clamps on the top. Drain radiator. take off hoses one each top and bottom. If the transmission lines go into the radiator, mark them top and bottom then disconnect. Loosen clamps on top then remove radiator. Put in new one. The top hose goes onto the thermostat housing, two bolts hold it down, remove and insert new one after using permatex red (silicone sealant tube) applied to the gsket, both sides. Replace bolts. Put on hoses fill and go. You could do this ourself brenda, since you arnt doing anything anyway (due to lack of transortation) take your time.
thanx,
bill
