Radiator cracked on the plastic top so I am replacing it today. Is it usual to replace the T-stat or anything else when doing this? Thanks!

Not necessary. If your radiator is a dual core, just make sure to check your tranny fluid as well.

It's a 1994 Accord DX with an f22b...2? I think. 5 speed.

I had to do the same to Megans I went ahead and replaced the hoses and thermostat since I was at it but I doubt that I had too. In case you havent got a helms for it yet Mario you can check here for one it changes everyday though so if it isnt up check again later. I also have it on my HD if you need it so let me know.

Thanks Erin. I guess before I go and pickup the radiator I'll inspect the hoses before. The T-stat has been working fine so I prolly won't replace it.

Thanks for the link too man!

id say do it while the system is open. the part is 8 bucks tops and it takes like 10 min to pull the housing off and put it on. just my .02

I didn't know it was so cheap! If the place has it then I'll just pick one up.

Hoses looked like they were just recently replaced, so I left them. I replaced the T-stat though, was only an extra ten bucks and ten minutes of time. Thanks everyone!
