K so after I just dropped a but load of money getting my clutch fixed last week...

Looks like this week I get to replace a radiator

I have a crack on the passenger side plastic area of the radiator... so it's toast... It's leaking fluid like crazy...

I'm moving to Phoenix in about 3 weeks so the cooling system on the car needs to be top notch... I DON'T want another "stock" replacement or one like it with the plastic cheap sides as the problem will just arise again in the future...

what do you guys suggest?

 

fluidyne 3 core aluminum sickest u can buy

 

how much? where at?

 

this a good one?

same one i have :0 a little pricey but if u get rid of the car ever take it out and sell it

 

actually i'm thinking i'm gonna get this one... http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku

the fluidyne one says 93-97 and nobody I call knows if it'll fit mine...

but the BE COOL one above seems to be a good radiator... at least the Summit Racing sales guy said it was...

 

The be-cool is a beefy radiator, much better then a stock setup. I would pick one of those up if you have cooling issues.

 

do you guys carry them Jake?

 

secondly... i might as well change my thermostat while i'm in there...

what's the difference between this one

oh yea... anything else I should replace while in that area?

 

the second is a 5.3 have to bit the bullet and get the one with the neck and be cool are the same but the warranty is longer. which ever one the are both the best u can buy

 

aight.... so should I get the 180 or 160 thermostat?

sorry i'm a dumbass when it comes to this **** and I'm in a hurry to order it tonight so it gets here by this weekend...

 

get the 160 ull never have an issue even in the winter still plenty of heat

 

ok... just placed my order... got the Be Cool Radiator and the Hypertech 160 thermo...

 

So since i'm getting this new radiator, do I have to stick with using that damn Dexcool crap since it coagulates and plugs up the whole cooling system?

 

anyone?

 

no you dont have to use it go back to the lean mean green, just make sure you flush all the old **** out of the block with a hose . if you dont the two wont mix and really cause issues. ps make sure you get it out of the heater core as well

 

It's best to flush it but they do make green stuff now that will mix with it ok.
