You didn’t ask my opinion but I am going to offer it anyway. If Newell offered to do it for 5K, then I would go to Newell.
Why? I am going to speculate that Atlas will quote you about 3500 for a new one. And it will be six weeks delivery at best. Let’s just say these are educated guesses.
You are NOT going to find a radiator off the shelf. This was custom made for Newell.
If you don’t have the tools to remove and reinstall, the methods to deal with 15 gallons of coolant and 5 gallons of hydraulic fluid, or the place to park the coach while it is disabled then 5K is not a bad price.
I have done it three times. And it best it is one day out, and one day back in utilizing two people. So 2 X 8 Hours X 150/ hr = 2400 in labor.
Again, not trying to be bossy, I am trying to help a new owner make informed decisions.
