I got the new radiator on Saturday morning and me and a friend of mine installed it later that day. It seems to be working fine with no problems. It only took us probably around an hour or so to do and we broke a couple of those fan bolts off in the old radiator but there wasn't any real harm done. Thanks for the advice on where to get it, because that was a very good price and it got to me in about 2 days which I think is very fast. And thankyou NanoSoob for your help to!!! Ben

Thanks for the advice. I just ordered a new radiator from radiator.com. It's supposed to be here by saturday, so hopefully I'll be able to take out the old radiator and put in the new one without any problems. Shipping wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I'll let you all know how it works out when I'm done. Ben

Recently my 1990 legacy wagon overheated and a friend of mine and me were able to find crack on the passenger side of the radiator. It's a very small crack sort of towards the top and on the front. It looks to be on the plastic. Were assuming that this is unrepairable, but if anyone has any ideas that would be great. Anyway, assuming I need a new radiator, I found a few places online to buy one. The cheapest I could find was http://www.carpartswholesale.com for $116.95. This seems like a really good deal compared with NAPA and others. I was wondering if anyone ever ordered anything from this place, because I hope that price isn't a little too good to be true. I was also wondering how difficult it is to change a radiator on my own. I haven't done a whole lot of work on my own cars in the past, but I know how to change the oil and spark plugs and other simple things. If it's an extremely difficult procedure, I'd probably rather just take it to a mechanic. This is my first post to this message board, and thanks for any help/advice that I could get.
