    My vehicle is starting to over heat and blowing out smoke through the grill. Was thinking about replacing the radiator itself and as well as my upper and lower radiator holes to start with. Anyone have any similar situation like this ?

    Vehicles over heat for various reasons. Since the plan is to replace parts don't forget the thermostat and inspect the water pump for leaks or noise and fans for proper function.

    My fan doesn’t turn on by itself either.

    If everything is running good so far I wouldn't mess with the water pump or hoses unless it really needs replacing.
