What a disaster. First when getting ready to pull the hood , I disconnected the hood prop and a gust of wind pulled it out of my hand and went fdw and cracked the fiber glass where the mounts are. Good thing I got a spare hood. Got the radiator in bolted and it took 2 to pull it out , heavy as hell. After sitting for at least 4 hrs. It still has antifreeze still in the passes. Defiantly plugged up

I had ordered a new radiator over a year ago and just started to install it. All the nutserts are metric 🤨 and not 100% in the correct spot. That’s fine , in and out 3 times to get all the correct bolts in the right spots and of corse the inlet is off by 2”. Spent a little time at Napa and found a hose that would work by cutting several inches off. I included the new hose part number for future reference.

you ordered a radiator for an H1, not a HMMWV
