I took a close look and my rad is definitly leaking from a few fins. It is hard to see because the fan blows everything out. I think I can do this job in a few hours saving close to $1000 quote from the rad shop. Let see what you think of this.
My intercooler is on top of the rad and the trans cooler is behind the rad and just bolted to it. I do not think I have to remove the Intercooler.
1. Power steering reservoir unbolted and probably cut the PS braket to make room.
2. Move the PS out of the way, lines still connected.
3. Remove the air filter indicator.
4. Unscrew the intercooler from the coolant rad.
5. Unscrew the trans cooler from the coolant rad and unscrew the lines from the coolant rad and disconnect.
6. Remove trans rad.
7. Cut part of the bumper to make room for the rad to come out, it looks kind of thight and I do not want to mess with it. The bumper goes inside pass the doors so it won't show, I will just nicely screw it back in for ease of removal if there is a next time.
8. Empty the radiator, disconnect the two hoses, unscrew the 4 bolts that holds the rad to the frame, pull it back then lift it up and out it goes.
