Should take you no more than an hour.
Remove rad cap.
Unscrew the radiator drain tap, bottom of rad passenger side.
Remove viscous fan assembly, 4 nuts.
Remove radiator shroud 4 bolts.
Remove top hose.
Disconnect bottom hose.
Disconnect the two transmission cooler pipes and make sure you plug the open ends of the pipes or you will lose fluid.
Remove radiator.
Fit new radiator.
Connect everything back up.
Fit top hose to rad and lift the open end up and fill rad with coolant until it will take no more and connect other end to thermostat housing.
Start engine and let idle whilst topping up coolant.
When temp gauge needle starts to move, replace rad cap and let engine get to normal running temp.
Let cool and check coolant level.
