Is he getting shafted?

Take the fan cowling off of the radiator. 2. Take the hoses off of the radiator. 3. pull the radiator out 4. Install the new radiator 5. Install the hoses 6 reinstall the fan cowling 7. Fill with coolant. The only alternate would be if auto tranny... if so tranny hoses (tubing) would need to be R&R'd from the old one to the new one.

I spent ~$165.00 for the radiator. Having done this once, I would be willing to bet I could do the whole thing in about an hour now. I can't see a grand cherokee being that different from a cherokee sport. No special tools are required either.
