The radiator needs some TLC before a trip and my mechanic is taking advantage of the cool, pleasant morning to remove it to take it to a radiator shop. Lucky me--my mechanic is Bill.
Several years ago "someone" (not Bill or me) wrecked the front end of the Suburban. The body parts were replaced and the vehicle looks fine, but the radiator and the air cooling unit in front of it both got pushed in and both are shaped like a saggy mattress on edge. Both cooling units have continued to function until now.
We are hoping the old radiator can be repaired because a new one won't fit into the slot the old one came out of. The front cooling unit impinges on the space for a new radiator. Unless we can get the shop to put a nice curve into the flat unit so it matches the old one's curve . . . .
Barring that, Bill is going to have to do some frame work to straighten it to accept a new radiator.
If you give a mouse a cookie . . . .
