Exclamation Any DIY with pics? - Behr Radiator installation

I purchased a Behr Radiator to replace the flawed OEM one in my 02 C32, but don't want to pay the stealership to replace it if it is an easy enough DIY job. Anyone have a good write up with pictures? Even my local mechanic won't touch it for $100 labor (all I want to spend) .

You are in luck sir!

The esteemed Splinter has a great write-up here.

Every C32'er should bookmark this one!

That is a great write up. Mucho Thanks!

Q: What do most people use to replace/change the transmission fluid? I have a pump evacuator I use to change my engine oil, but fear contamination. Are there funnels that will fit the trans tube?

i changed mine while i was doing the radiator, only makes sense since you need to break the tranny seal to refill the transmission fluid. One of the skinnier funnels you can find in any autozone or kragens will work. Just make sure you use the oem transmission fluid.
