Radiator Replacement HELP!

Ive checked all over the net, ive done searches but i CANNOT find a single write up on replacing a 2004 Max Rad! Can any one help!?

I mean it seems pretty basic, my one BIG concern is the tranny line to the rad. Will i have to top off after its done? will i loose alot of fluid?

HELP!

I don't recall having to add any transmission fluid when I replaced the radiator in my '05 last year. The loss was extremely minimal.

Been some time since I replaced my son's. I remember that I had to remove the battery and battery case in order to remove the radiator. Of the three transmission ie. 4 speed auto, 5 speed auto and 6 speed manual only the 4 speed auto will have transmission oil cooler. If you have the 4 speed there will be some loss of fluid but the amount is minor.

I had to remove mine to do my Alternator and not much fluid came out at all.
