Radiator replacment
I was running around offroad last weekend and picked up a rock in the fan and put a hole in the radiator, along with busting the fan to heck. I'm replacing the radiator and fan this weekend. Is there anything special I need to worry about?
I also am replacing the CPS. It went out 2 minutes after i was talking about replacing it(LOL).

Fan/Rad
I'd take off the serp belt and check the waterpump bearings for play - Since you're in there anyway it's any easy check. That way if the rock that took out the fan damaged the WP you'll be in a good place to replace it since the Rad is coming out anyway. I'd check the belt tensioner as well since a rock was bouncing around under the hood.

Watch the edges of the fan blades, they are sharp. I have bloodied my knuckles on them too many times.
