Replacing radiator
Replacing radiator
After having the stock radiator fixed it busted open again on the other side. Autozone wanted $240 + tax for a new one. I ended up getting one for $140 online with free shipping! And then went to Autozone for new hoses and clamps $30 there and everything needed for $270! Oh yea I placed the order on lunch tuesday and got it today at lunch. Woot free shipping! Going to be throwing this thing in tonight and will be asking questions if anything comes up!
yea I wasn't expecting to hear that kind of price for a radiator! maintenance will definatly be lighter now because I won't be adding antifreeze every time I want to take the car out. oh, and typo I got everything for $170 not $270 so all in all I saved about $100! Not bad I think and I can put that into the truck that is desparatly needing new rings. A note on Silla radiators, it's a little wider than stock so it *just* fit in. It took about twice as long to put in than it did to take the stock out. I think all the air is purged - just checked it for the 3rd time and it's to the lid and the resivor looks good.

Got it from http://www.racepages.com it's Part #: SILLA7519. $136.71 shipped (well total because you get free shipping on $50+ orders). And I got it exactly 72 hours after ordering. It has brackets on the mounting pegs that make it a little harder to install, mine complicated by front end damage. The two new hoses and four new claps cost $27 total at autozone. And I got a cap for 5 something. It's awsome because it's square! And tunes that "lost found" was awsome. I've been a reader here for almost 4 years (only recently registered) so i've seen plenty of your posts! Good luck to anyone looking for a new radiator!
