[Bards] Sorry to ask

[amber cook]

Thank you so much for your advice I live on the east side of Arlington right off 360
  I knew that this was going to cost an arm and a leg but it has to be done my tropper is from 1990 so chances are its still the old metal radiator or may just be the pump
  I had the hoses changed by friends but since I have a off road skid plate in the way I am not shure they got the lower one on all the way We cant even tell were its leaking from due to the skid plate 
  thank you again for your advice

Amber, another thing to consider is that radiators have changed since 
some of us were young. It used to be that radiators were all metal, 
and could be repaired (soldered/welded) if they had a leak. Now they 
have a plastic core as often as not, and cannot be repaired; just 
replaced. Just something to be aware of; fore-warned is fore-armed.

Also, the tune-up shouldn't be any big deal; any tune-up shop should 
be able to handle it. But the transmission...? That is something you 
only want a competent, fair mechanic to touch. Charles gives good 
advice on how to find one, assuming that you don't get a personal 
recommendation from someone.

Where do you live (what city)?

Kind regards,
Michael
