The a/c condensor slips into 2 brackets on the front of the radiator with no bolt or screws at the top, there are two screws at the bottom.

One note of caution---be sure the rubber mounts on the new radiator are the same size as the old ones, on the bottom and the front where the two (2) screws go through to hold the radiator or the radiator will not line up properly.
is it the same for all 2001 models? i have a r/t durango

Yes it should be if his is the 5.9L it is the same motor R/T or not. 4.7L might be a little different but still you should not have to remove the condenser.

If you remove the bumper it will be a snap getting to everything you need. With the bumper on you better have small and pliable hands. I've done it both ways and prefer the removing the bumper method.

Can anyone explain how to disconnect the electrical connector from the cooling fan motor? It has a small red plastic interlock clip on the plug which comes off, but the connectors still don't budge.

I'm afraid I'm going to shatter them if I apply more force.

You have to use a small screw driver or punch to pry them apart if they are stuck like that. Just remove the red slide clip first.
