Well I was running hot and I had tried washing my stock radiator 4times and couldnt get it clean enough so I upgraded to the Griffin Radiator for the extra 25% cooling capacity it has, I didnt want to go wheelin again and have to stop playing because I am overheating. It was a pretty simple install, just unbolt Ac cond/trans cooler from the radiator, unbolt the radiator and remove. Oh I took the fan off with the overflow tank still full and attached, just 2 bolts for the fan.
Here are some pics.

 

Wow, how long did that take?

 

I can't believe how dirty your old radiator was. I hpe the A/C condensor isnt as bad.

 

about 2.5-3hrs but that included cleaning out the stock one for about 20-30min after I got it out, and thats still not 100% clear of mudd

 

the ac cond really wasnt bad, I cleaned it off though, the water would squirt thru the ac cond right away, the stock rad after I got it out, took a LOT of water to get it cleaner, I gave up after about 30min...I was holding the hose on one side and the water wasnt coming thru in the middle and of course the bottom, the bottom after 30min was coming thru at about 80% maybe compared to the rest of it.

I have to put a switch in for the fan, for when I am going deep

 

that thing looks nice. that's some nice mud you got there.

 

Thanks lol......yours might look like that under the fan lol.....I figured out how easy the fan is to take off completely so you can really get the rad cleaned up good if we have problems again. Its just 2 bolts then pull up and you can take it out, just keep the overfill tank attatched

 

I was thinking the same thing about the fan switch. It should be easy enough to do and would help keep the new radiator clean.

 

yep I have an auto, the trans cooler is totally seperate from the rad...its part of the ac cond, it just bolts to the front and side of rad.

 

one thing I gotta say is I was a bit surprised that a brand new rad have some fins that were a little bit bent, not crushed but bent....I think quadratec sticking their damn catalog that I have about 10 of, in the box may have done it. No leaks though
