changing filters etc??
A side radiator makes things a whole lot easier.
About the only thing that it does make it easier to change would be the fan belts if it had any. The filters on mine are outside the rear radiator and just inside the hood (easy to change out).
The side radiators do not have a belt, they are hydraulic operated. So probably the only thing easier would be your alternator/ power steering pump and air conditioning serpentine belt. That I will say would be a lot easier to change then with the rear radiator.
The Cat engine is much better then the ISB Cummins, more torque. The Journey probably has the Cat engine.
