    This is quite easy to replace once the vehicle is up on a lift. The part will be in the $250 range. The only issue here is that I would want to see a head gasket leak test performed first to verify that the head gasket isn't leaking, otherwise replacing the oil cooler will be a waste of a few hundred dollars.
