I have a 95 rodeo 3.2L V6 automatic and have a crack in my radiator top
leaking coolant. I found a "new" radiator at www.autoradiatorsdirect.com
for $189 w/lifetime warranty. Is this something I can do myself and how?
Cars are obviously not my specialty,but iam confident i can do this with
some help...any help will be much appreciated..thanks again

It all depends on
1) how much you have to remove to get the radiator out,
2) your skill/comfort level with taking things out and putting them
back like they were, and
3) how closely the replacement radiator is to an exact match.

If you don't have to remove the A/C condenser, that will really
complicate it (you probably won't need to).

Oops. That should have said:
