    M1009 radiator replacement 432098; engine oil cooler lines don't fit

    glad it was of help Jake :mrgreen: Like I said, such an option may require some problem solving and etc, but its also a Whole Lot Less expensive than the custom built all aluminum radiator from one of the "hot rod" and "racing" companies, like griffinrad or mishimoto. I wouldn't have minded...

    M1009 radiator replacement 432098; engine oil cooler lines don't fit

    Hi Jake, From what I could find back when I replaced my radiator, Genesis auto parts is no more, or they sold out, etc. However, after replacing the stock radiator with another stock radiator at the cost of $400+, and then having more problems with it, had it repaired... repaired again... then...

    M1009 radiator replacement 432098; engine oil cooler lines don't fit

    Hello Cucvrus! Thanks for your reply! Yeah, I read where you said you had used the aluminum/plastic rads without much issue. I looked at several on several different parts sites (o'reilly, rockauto, etc) and all of them seemed to be pretty much the same manufacture irregardless of brand. And...

    M1009 radiator replacement 432098; engine oil cooler lines don't fit

    AH ok, ELC "Extended Life Coolant" and SCA "Supplemental Coolant Additives" :doh: I know we aren't supposed to use dexcool or other oddball AF's. But i thought some guys on here told me some years ago that this prestone was fine... still don't know what that would have to do with the radiator...

    M1009 radiator replacement 432098; engine oil cooler lines don't fit

    Hi Matt5, Thanks for the Comment! The antifreeze I use is Prestone Concentrate Extended Life Coolant with "CorGuard" for "All Makes All Models". Its rated for 5 years / 150k miles. Don't see anything on the jug about ELC or SCA. My Dad has only put about... 8k miles on the truck in the last 5...

    M1009 radiator replacement 432098; engine oil cooler lines don't fit

    Yeah it blew a head gasket about 3 years ago. Had to replace the heads (old one's were "riddled with cracks" from what the shop who fluxed them said), new head bolts, gaskets, thermostat, etc etc. Redid everything new. I did this once before, and thought about this again a few weeks ago, so I...

    M1009 radiator replacement 432098; engine oil cooler lines don't fit

    Hi Doghead! Thanks for the Reply! To answer your questions: Yes... and no. Yes, when we first bought the truck, when doing all the other maintenance we completely flushed the system (which it didn't appear to need, but did it anyway) and everytime we've had to pull the radiator for repairs or...

    M1009 radiator replacement 432098; engine oil cooler lines don't fit

    I know this thread is a couple years old, but does anyone know of another source where to find a good All Aluminum Radiator for a reasonable price for the 6.2L now? Looks like "genesis" went out of business, as their site is no longer up. The stock radiator on my Dads M1008 split an entire...
