Hey all,
At 138,000 miles the radiator went; hairline crack in tank below upper hose fitting. Caught it before it ever overheated.
I like rockauto.com and they had a Valeo unit for roughly $150. Got it, looks nice, but the tranny cooler line fittings are not compatible with the factory lines. FWIW it has 4 cooler fittings, two each side. Guess it makes it more 'univeral' but not a good fit for the intended appication...grrr....
I cannot gracefully modify the lines or fittings so I'm leaning towards sending it back.
Who's used an aftermarket radiator with the right fittings, where did you get it, and what did it cost?
A Nissens is $244 FCPGroton, pic shows two fittings, not 4 as the Valeo has. Rockauto's other offering is a Proliance at $235, pic shows 4 fittings. IPD has a Cryomax at $282 (yow), description says 2 fittings.
Any help or solution experience is very welcome,
Thanks
Ron
