Ok so I have been noticing my low coolant light coming on and off the past few days, I check and I was missing about 0.5 gallons.

so I started suspecting a blown hose, I was really hoping it wasnt the pump.

so I pop the hood and I see this:








So you guys think I can JBweld it, haha just kidding

anybody know of a good all aluminum radiator for a DD and where I could get it from

I went to the local Autozone where some friends work after my LT1 Radiator did that. I got a direct replacement one for $115, and that thing works like a charm. Even with my new Engine it will run at 175 with both Fans on, and maybe hits 200 on the Highway..that's with the Auto at the time, 80mph at 3000 rpms.

I just had that happen also a few weeks ago.. I used some JB weld stop leak. Its held up pretty good but Im going to replace it anyways. I was thinking about a stock replacement from AZ also.

The plus with say a autozone one is the warranty. **** cracks, get a new one for nothing but time to swap it.
I got a chain store one for the truck, I wish I had with the car. **** was way more at the dealership, I was probably close to a be cool at that point.

I have been leaking water and I have no bad hoses so it looks like I will be getting a new rad too. Damnit.....

yea the stock replacement sounds really good, I have the money for the Becool, but I would rather spend it on something better, say like True Duals or something

How long does it take to swap one out? I want to go to the track this fri nite and was thinking to do the swap b4 I go but not sure if Ill have time for both?

Not hard at all!

If you want I have the service manuals in the garage i can get you the procedure.
Took me about 1hr20min start to finish.

hell it doesnt even take me 45 mins to swap one out. Drain the rad, disconect hoses, disconect felec fans. The fans come out through the bottom, and then the rad comes out the top. Then put everything back together.

P.S. if you have a auto you gotta disconect the trann cooler lines to the rad.

Sweet it will be done this fri b4 I go back. Or at least try and go back.... the last couple times Ive gone, I got screwed and couldnt run it(breaking imports and rain). An AZ near me has one for 179.99 anyone know of a better deal?
I have a hayes sitting around at home and a M6 so it should be easy just didnt want to spend all day with it the drive to the track late and get screwed again.

I got a over the counter price of 160 at Pepboys on a lifetime warranty Rad.

I am probably gonna get like 15 bucks off the top of that with my commercial account
