Replacing the radiator, Anything else? - 8/28/2007 2:05:43 PM    Taymacjack Posts: 518 Joined: 7/18/2007 From: Auschwitz, Oregon Status: offline Well I finally got a new radiator to replace my old leaking one. So while i have my radiator out, I thought that maybe this would be a good opportunity to replace some of the other componants that are prone to premature failure. So here's the question: What parts would be a good idea to replace while i can get at them easily? Also a ball park estimate as far as price is concerned would be great. _____________________________ 1995 GMC Jimmy 4x4X2 (I need a outside spare tire carrier...wanna trade for the inside version?)

I'd definitely say both upper and lower radiator hoses and clamps.  Also a new radiator cap is kind of obvious.  For that I'd go with a Stant Safety-Cap with the pressure release lever. _____________________________ Kyle- 2004 Rainier 1970 Chevelle - Resto 1974 K5 Blazer - Resto (in reply to Taymacjack) Post #: 4
