I pulled the rad. out of my current project last night to inspect it and it has discoloration in the bottom 1/4-1/3. Being that the last engine died of overheating, I'm thinking a replacement is a smart move, especially since it's got 127,000 miles on it.

Autozone, Advance Auto, O'Reilly sell pretty much the same one for $110.00. GMPartsDirect sells it for $208.00, murders you on shipping it (I could drive there in an hour and forty minutes).

Experience/ opinions with parts house radiators?

I've gotten radiators from big box stores and haven't had a problem. But, if I were to choose, go for Napa first, then Carquest, O'reilly, Advance, Autozone, in that order.

Thanks all- just the feedback I was looking for. I'll see what Napa has, hadn't thought of them.

They're all most likely going to sell the exact same part so I'd go with the one that has the best price. Save some time and search their websites.

Looks like the Spectra CU1486 is what everybody sells. Grabbing one from AZ next week. Thanks again folks...
