Don't be daunted about replacing the radiator on a 2003-era QX4 or Pathfinder. I did it in about 2 hours & I am fair at car repairs but not in any way as good as most of you guys. I'm pretty sure the leaking unit I replaced was the original so it lasted 17 years! I tried Bars Leak first but there were too many cracks for that band-aid to work. So, I bought a Denso on Amazon for $72 (mechanic quoted me almost $700, parts & labor) and it fit perfectly. There are several YouTube videos on the steps. I also bought an OEM TOOLS 87009 No-Spill Coolant Funnel Kit & I highly recommend this for the refill/bleed part. Let me know if you have any questions about the procedure.

Nicely done!

That's a massive savings, and it feels good when you knock it out yourself!
