Hi all,
I have a 2003 VY SS Crewman. 5.7l 6spd manual. The factory radiator has done 120,000 k's and decided it's done. I am trying to find a decent solution without spending a fortune. I have come across a few threads talking about possibly swapping out the standard VY radiator with the tidier looking VZ.
Firstly is this a fairly simple task? As I will be installing it myself...
And what other bits and pieces would I need to make sure the conversion is smooth?
I have replaced radiators in the past so actually getting it back in should be the easy part, I am just having trouble trying to narrow down a solid answer online...
And secondly if this will likely become a time consuming option to take on, could I just replace it with a decent but not ridiculously priced alloy type?
And what things would I need to look out for if this was to be the decided option?
Thanks in advance for any and all advice...
