I'd also suggest getting a Haynes manual which will help by giving proper torque specs, etc., for the various fasteners and lines you will remove.

Why do people answer these type of questions when they obviously have no idea what they're talking about? Anyone with reasonable mechanical ability can remove a radiator from a vehicle. If it were THAT easy in a 2001 Dodge Durango, do you really think anyone would have to ask? Now, can one of you boneheads address the REAL question?

You should always drain your radiator before disconnecting the hoses or lines.
