Rare to get any car-related repairs done in an hour. I must’ve surely fucked something up.

Was it a difficult job? I know they can be a tight fit sometimes. Especially on some trucks where they don't give you any room in-between the motor and radiator

Not really. I removed the intercooler hose and an air duct out of the way and there was a decent amount of room to do it from the top.
