Atlas in Corpus Christi did both the CAC and RAD for my 96. I think my 04 has the same set up. The 96 is located on the floor on the engine compartment where the 04 is recess below the floor. You would have to raise the RAD to remove in the 04 where in the 96 it slid straight out after the CAC was removed. I think they are the same in the 96 and 04. I remove the CAC 3 times form the 96. First time took to the Manufacturer who welded and pressure ck and said it would last. Cheap fix 400 lasted 2 yrs Labor myself. Second time S & S Denver 3K they removed and re cored 3000 lasted 6 yrs. Third time Atlas 1400 labor myself. Took out the 4th time to install new RAD from Atlas 1500 labor myself. My experiences would be; If one goes bad do both because the labor is about same. Don't patch or re core, unless someone give a warranty covering labor and parts both because labor is as much as the parts. Duralite patented system really look good and I wish they would consider making a RAD too. Atlas did a good job also. All leaks i have had are always where the core goes into the side tanks. Your can check after engine has been on a trip and hot with fast idle set. Mine have always showed up by spaying soapy water in the area with everything hot.
