You may run into that problem with any designed for the civilian side of the market. CUCV's are the exact same components as a civilian truck. The cooling system is no different. It should fit the application it lists. Make sure to pressure test the cooling system and make sure the head...

Any radiator that cools the engine, fits and don't leak is a cool radiator in my world. I don't care if it is made in Katmandu. If it is and I need it Katmandu is the one I do. Take care stay cool. and when changing radiators always take a close look at the isolator mounts. If the radiator is...

I sent you a text early this AM. I will check out the list of parts you need. The transmission cooler lines can be repaired. If they cut them at the radiator I would cut them back a few inches and use a double flair connection splice, new line and new flare nuts to attach to the radiator. I am...

Does a used one come with a warranty? I don't think so. If it don't leak at the time of install you are a winner. And finding a good used one is 3/4 of the battle. Warranty or no warranty you found one. I am happy for you. I have a brand new one in the box and it has no warranty. But in my mind...

I still have a few CUCV's under my tutelage, and the horror stories I hear on here have me scared to even think about needing a new radiator. But the ace up my sleeve has always been to repair what I currently have and search while I still have what I needed to begin with. The re-core is still...

Take it out of the truck. And wash it clean. I am sure it can be repaired at a fraction of the cost of a replacement. Heck mail it down in a box and i will get it fixed and mail it back. It will still be less than a replacement. I still have 2 Harrison OEM's that I found while looking for body...

And I doubt it needs re-cored. I suspect it can be repaired. Radiator shops are far and few between. I have one locally and it is 3rd generation and the man that runs it now is my age. When he retires, I doubt that trade will be picked up by anyone else. Some trades are just fading away.

Get the radiator repaired. A complete recore cost $600.

Get the radiator repaired. It can't be anything major.

SSDVC do you need another radiator?

I just ask my radiator guy today "how much for a re-core of the stock radiator?" He replied $600. That sounds better then $800.

Do you have good tanks? Get the radiator re-cored.

You don't really need a 4 core. A 3 core will do fine. And my experience has been that the plastic / aluminum cool better. That's my opinion and years of use. maybe I was just born lucky. I don't try and analyze everything on a truck by where it is made at and what is the best. At this point...
