uggghhhh....just put mine in about a month ago and missed this group buy. Great quality. The fit is great, the fans bolted up perfect. I did have to bend a couple of the tabs on the AC condenser to get it to line up, but that was minor. At this point the temp stays fine, but I haven't had the fans adjusted to take advantage of the extra cooling capacity. The fit is really tight, but worth it.

Havent seen a dramatic temp drop for mine... unless you need one or yours is shot... I would put money somewhere else. I will say its a top notch piece. Excellent quality and does look good behind the grill, makes pulling the balancer a pita...
and maybe belt changes too. I got mine for plans that include forced induction on the car... so hoping it is worth it

They said you have to have your fans adjusted for it to cool to the maximum. I will know more once I get mine.

You don't pull the bumper to do the radiator. It's still very straight forward. https://ls1tech.com/forums/cadillac-...ican-made.html

I have a ALRADCO radiator and my temp is all over the place.
I get about 177f on the freeway and about 20 min later the temp jumps up to about 185f.

Mine was about the same... 176 to 185 between stop and go... summer time 195ish with ac on and not moving. I think it drops quicker when you move compared to oem...
