Hi friends,
I just bought a used Dakota 3,9l/V6 build in 1999. My biggest problem is the steel crossmember also called frame where the radiator is attached to. This part seems to consist of rust only and is close to a complete failure.
What is the best way to replace it? Do you have a part number for me?
Do I have to remove the A/C condenser first and then the radiator?
I have the service manual but this is not directly described there.

regards

as I heve found in the parts list the part number of this delapidated part is 55255 720AC named Radiator support lower tie bar
