C Cory_dup1 OP Getting the Wheeling Fever Hi everyone, I think it is about time for my 2.6L 1990 troop to get a new radiator. It is still on the original and has been starting to struggle the past several summers. Can anyone give me some advice/recommendations on who makes a good replacement radiator? There are a lot of companies out there and it is hard to know who to go with. Anything to be wary of when making this purchase? Price matters, but I am willing to pay more for quality. Thanks in advance for any help- Cory Re: New radiator... advice? [Re: Cory_dup1] #308968 08/30/03 06:40 AM Joined: Dec 1999 Posts: 1,035 Poulsbo, WA 98370-8125, Kitsap...

This let's you basically 'zero-time' the whole cooling system on one whack.

Have you done the waterpump, and if so how does it rate as far as a do it yourself job? I like your troop pick there, I've got a similar one of my 90 taken on the sand at Oregon Inlet.

So, I don't know how much of a hassle it is with the 2.6. Thanks for the kudos, pic was taken at the Fort Fisher State Rec Area below Wilmington.
