2011 Denali Radiator Replacement

[XLDenali11]

Recently noticed a coolant leak coming from the radiator and wondering what is the recommendation for a replacement. I have both oil and trans cooler. I have about 173,000 on the truck and wanted to get some maintenance done while I have the coolant drained. Looking at doing Radiator, hoses and water pump. Is there anything else you guys would recommend doing while I am at it? Any tips to making the job easier would also be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Order the Gates belt kit off Amazon with the green belt. OEM radiators are guaranteed for life and seem to last for about 5 years in my old Yuke & current Esky.

The issue with radiators seems to be the material (plastic) head tanks.
