my chrysler lhs 97 is overheating what can it be and how hard is it to take out the radiator

Check your belts... If a belt fell off your going to overheat. Then check that there is fluid in your reservoir , the radiator lines for any leaks, and make sure your thermometer isn't fried... If your leaking from the radiator then you need to change it. As for the difficulty of changing the rad, it's not that hard just a messy bitch to do... ALWAYS check the cheap shit first when diagnosing a problem so you don't spend hundreds of dollars trying to fix something that could have been solved with $8 and a trip to autozone.

Could be a number of things. Cooling fan relays and motors are common failures. There is also a harness at the bottom of the cooling fan assy, some people call it a module, some call it relays, but anyways that harness is also a culprit.

Like Chis posted, check the cheap and easy things first before spending a few hundred on a radiator your not sure you need.

Ive also had alot of problems with thermostats on those vehicles, partially sticking or sticking closed. if it is a 3.5 engine that is.

Prob head gaskets those things are infamous for that little costly trick.

Id start with the fan, then once thats out id take the rest of that pos to the boneyard.
