So the bXJ needed a jump twice today ('93, 4.0) and as I left work I decided
to stop and get a new battery at the nearest Les Schwab since the old one
was still under partial warranty.

Anyway, they knocked the upper hose off the radiator while removing the
battery and claimed it was due to rust. I'm of the opinion that it was
working fine when it went into their care it should be working fine when it
comes out but if they don't feel that way how bad a job is it to replace the
radiator yourself?

TIA,

Get your new radiator from 1800RADIATOR. They are awesome, fast, and the
price is right. It is a one hour job but if its your first time then plan on
2 and 1/2 hours. Pull the electric fan out first to make the job easier. My
three core radiator from them was perfect.
