Mikey, I had the aluminum radiator ready to go, all adapters/mods done and I managed to strip out the bottom oil cooler bung. I boxed her up and put the unit up for now. I will, after I have my truck completely sorted, get the aluminum radiator repaired (helicoil the bung) and either sell it...

I couldn't find a stock 850 radiator anywhere (except at Rick's place, and that one is locked in a vault, surrounded by armed guards with laser weapons). And some of the prices for them were crazy (like $1500 - $1800 if they were available). Even recoring of the existing unit, if that service...

Well, got the radiator today, which was really a quick ship, since I ordered it Tuesday. She looks good and was packed well. All aluminum, including the tanks and has proper bungs for everything. All sizes seem correct for my fittings on the truck. Install will tell if everything goes...

OK, I went out and got 3 estimates to recore my radiator. First two came in around $850 to $900 and the third one said I would have to take it out and he would have to look at it before he could give me an estimate. The first two places were within a hour of the house and the last one was even...

Thanks 5565. Anyone know the oil line fitting size?

Thanks for the suggestion and I too prefer local, brick and mortar. However, none of those have an available radiator that fits our trucks. AND, if they did, the price is now $850 each. That's a lot of green backs for some aluminum !

So, I priced a re-core this week. Only two places near me (within an hours drive) will do it. Both are north of $600+, both places have at least a two month backlog of work and both only offer a 1 year warrantee. I think I am going to get it done, but cost wise is it not doable right now. I...

LOL !! Completely understand !! Just thought I'd ask.

Rick, if your willing to let one go, let me know how much you want for the one in the box, shipped. I think I'll install a new one and repair the old, since they are getting really tough to find these days !!

Yup, I have too drive 45 minutes for the nearest shop. I am hoping it is a simple fix. We shall see.

I am heading up to a radiator shop in a few days for an estimate. It really looks like my only alternative.

Thanks Sarge, but the cost of that radiator was up to $550, but it is also no longer available.

Hi Rick. Yeah, it looks like my radiator is not long for this world. I have seen drips now and then for the last year or two, but I dismissed them, for no particular reason. This week I started noticing a little puddle on the garage floor. I cleaned it up, but it kept coming back and would...

Just wondering if anyone ordered this radiator and if it was any good and worked as advertised?
