Same thing at Bus Depot for $149.95 less your 5% List discount.
The spare tire rack has to be dropped and the support struts removed to
effect the swap.  This is a good time to change out the tired old
thermostat, too.  I checked and lubed the front heater valve and cable while
the radiator was out. (And as I am typing I just realize that I need to
remember to replace my unusable spare tire before my next outing...oops!)
I had my new radiator in hand in three days from the order date. The job
took two hours.
