Probably getting a bit thin at the seams. That seems to be going around at this age of the core. I have different types of radiators from the new OEM to the Spectra. I like the plastic aluminum over the copper brass. They seem to hold up well. Time will tell. They are warranted for life. That's...
Don't do it man. I followed a few of them ATF red blood trails. A few times in snow and several times in mud. In wet mud it makes pretty rainbows. But at the end every time was a vehicle with a mess underneath a dry transmission and no parts or enough fluid to be had. It bleeds out with out you...
I will be doing the same in a few days. i know flare nuts can be difficult at times. Best deal is to start everything by hand / finger tight. They should be clean and lubed well enough that they spin freely on the steel line. That helps a great deal. Not sure what problem you are encountering...
I see nothing wrong with that. They appear to be done while being assembled. Either way it will have no effect on the radiator at all. And once the "Caution Fan" cover is on you will never see it. good Luck. I think you made a great purchase. I have several and am very happy with them. I also...
Is this an exact stock replacement?
Yes it is an exact replacement. I have not attempted an installation yet. But first look was very favorable. It looks well made and has all the holes and fittings in the right place. I will report back on my installation efforts with pictures. I still...
I would get one at the store. The past record I had with shipping radiators is poor. I used my 20% of coupons on parts for a few other projects I am currently working on. The Yeti tumbler is a retail $40. item. Any way is good. Not a huge fan of re-core price when new is lifetime warranted and...
If it were a newer radiator I would say yes. but being it is 30 years old the tubes are very thin. I have a shop near me and when he sees these radiators and looks inside he says that need re-cored. That is a $400. job. And with the $325. new you get a lifetime warranty. If you look at most the...
I also recommend Prothane radiator isolators. About $20. + or -. GM big block insulators 1968-1991 1968-1987 PN # 7-1712-BL looked them up on Amazon and bought them thru prime. 2 days and on my desk.
I get a commercial discount and that was with the tax. If I do the math correctly it comes out to 10% on the price plus 6% state tax. So average about 4% off list. Make any sense? it works for me. And this month a free Yeti 20 OZ tumbler with purchase. I have a Yeti ice chest. Expensive but...
Radiator received, inspected and paid for at Autozone. 100% damage free plastic tanks aluminum core. $310. out the door. Nice light weight and ready to install in my M1008 project. I recommend this product. ****
I just ordered a radiator Spectra B850 from AutoZone. I hope the fun is short lived. I am going in the next hour to inspect the first one they received. I will report back. I need one for my M1008 project.
I bought at least a dozen of them B850 Autozone radiators over the years and they were always 4 core. I had issues getting a straight undamaged radiator a few times. But in the end I had a new radiator that is warranted for life. Be sure to open the box at the store and thoroughly inspect the...
