    I need a new left side Rad for my 2004.
    There's one available from a 2001 model.

    would this be compatible? I know the models are slightly different, but often the parts carry over.
    Is there a source where I can cross reference this sort of thing?

    I'd really prefer not to have to buy from a dealer.

    Thanks

    thanks for the offer, it is a good price. However, I found out there's nothing wrong with my rads.
    the moron's at the dealership couldn't find the "pressure leak". Finally it just started to puke green slime.

    So I took it apart, found rubber junk on my rad fan and look some more.
    Sure enough, the fan was hitting a hose from the right side overflow and chopped right through.

    So the dealer wanted to replace the rad (for ~$600) and the real problem was a $2 hose.....

    I swore I wouldn't do any of my own wrenching any more...but just changed my mind.

    thanks though!
