After I installed the Becool, I don't think the temps passed 190 even on the hottest day in traffic with the AC on.

YES! That's who made it, couldn't remember but yes. I'll have to look into that one.

Paul, same experience here.
The temp never rises much, even on the hottest day, after several WOT runs (no AC).

Folks, I think the answer is that if you want maximum cooling with maximum reliability in a radiator, pony up the scratch for the Becool unit.

All aluminum fully welded radiators is all you'll see in the "big" cars at the track-with good reason.

I'm even gonna get one for my '03 Blazer daily beater. **** that skinny plastic stock crap.

On the 134-62028 I looked at the specs and it look as its wider and higher than the stocker. So you did not have to mod anything to make it fit? Just want to make sure before I order one.

Instead of upgrading my radiator, I've decided to just upgrade my water pump.
