Subject: Question about 2000 Grand Am radiator replacement
Auto: 2000 Grand Am 3.4L V6

I may have a bad radiator and I was curious as to whether the radiator
can be replaced
separate from the A/C condenser.  One source I looked at seems to
infer it can and another says they're one unit.   If the latter is
true, that's really stupid that you've got to drain your a/c coolant
just to replace a radiator.

Does anyone know for sure?

Thanks

PB

I checked www.napaonline.com and they dont seem to reference it.
www.autozone.com  shows a separate radiator and condensor.

First is about $250 and the latter is about $150, roughly.  This is not
proof positive, but may be indicative that you can change them separately.

Advance auto shows a separate radiator as well, but my haynes manual
says that it's one unit.   Two things about this are
that the pictures on Advance/A'zone/Rock Auto are not always
accureate.  Neither is Haynes, and my manual references
3 separate cars including the Malibu which is not the same platform.
Studying it carefully from outside it looks almost
inseparable.

Call a radiator shop and ask them.  They should work on enough of these to
know what to tell you.  Some of the manuals and catalog information are very
lacking.

This is a very good idea.   Could also be that the two are closely
coupled and Haynes though it easier to remove
both.  Won't be the first time something like this has been in a
manual.
