i just lost the rad in my 92, i got the automatic radiator from autozone( works fine with the stick thats what i have) and it was a $122 bolted right in only had to go get a new cap, it keeps the engine cooler than the stock one ever did, atleast since august when i bought the truck.

Roll Me Over
You can use tap water, but distilled is much better, (no minerals or cantaminants, chlorine, etc.,). Mix it 50/50 for best cooling properties.


More than tread lightly. Leave it like you were never there, nor anyone else.

I ordered a radiator from www.radiator.com and I am VERY pleased w/ the results! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> The thing bolts right in and comes w/ a lifetime warranty, provided you flush out your system once a year! Affordable, durable and they'll letcha do a C.O.D. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> I highly recommend their product!

I'll second that! I got my rad from radiatorbarn.com as well. I upgraded to the "heavy duty" rad, which is the 3 row instead of 2. For $118 and free shipping, I couldn't complain. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
