Hi all - new to the forum here. I did a search and didn't see any threads titled "replacing radiator" so I thought I'd ask - I have a 2007 4WD with the 6 cylinder, 2.7 Liter. Radiator is leaking and needs replaced along with the radiator fan motor; bearings are shot so going to replace both at once. Garage says about 3.5 hours of labor. This is my fiance's car; I work on older chevies.... my question is - how difficult is this job to do? Anything odd about it? I can't find a single youtube video on it and surprisingly Chilton nor Haynes makes a repair manual so before I try this I want to know what I'm getting into. If you've done this job can you let me know if its straight forward or difficult? Thanks

Wow.... has no one replaced a radiator on this model???? This is what is making me nervous about trying this job!

It's a radiator. Drain. Remove fan shroud and fan. Upper support. Hoses and lines if AT. reverse to install.

Thanks... so you do have to remove the upper support then. Wasn't sure. Thanks!
