The joy of buying a used car HAHAHA Well to my discover this morning the radiator has a leak, a small but steady leak. So looking into a new replacement and go from there, I kinda of figured I would start to see the sign of wear as I DD it everyday. Any suggestions on oem replacement or just go ahead and buy the alradco aluminum radiator? Thanks

Yeah, not to be a jerk, it's just antiquated. And I don't trust them. Plus GM dealers around me faded and disappeared after the bubble burst a few years back. There was a giant Chevy dealer in the same spot since I was a little kid. Gone. Now it's a 40 mile drive to one. Doesn't matter, I've never gone to one for parts anyhow.
OP - you still going with a dealer on this?

I went to the dealer because they said they would have it before 5 pm yesterday, but they were yanking my dick on that. So I'm looking for the fastest way for it to ship, probably gonna do the Amazon and get it in 2 days. Thanks for the links and for the info guys !

Occasionally parts are overpriced but would be from any GM source. Like a rear window regulator for my V ($220 wholesale). Fixed that with a pic-n-pull part for $18. New aftermarket was about $80.

Not to say your wholesale account isn't worthwhile, but a window regulator without a motor is $40. I replaced one of mine about 4 years ago. The old motor swaps over pretty easily. I got mine on Amazon.

I am. I bought it with it already swapped and I'm assuming it had been in there for a while. It runs 175 on the hwy and 185 in traffic on a hot day. Adjusting the fan settings is best and can be done through a tune, but you could probably get away without one for a while.
