Cheap dual core radiator $87
My spectra 951 radiator developed a leak so I ordered a new OSC 951 radiator for $87 from Rock Auto and to my surprise it was a 1/4" thicker and two core. No issues getting it in and seems to be cooling great. Thought I would share

Interesting.... I just ordered the GPD 951C as it is called out as "2 Row Core"
When it comes in next week I will have to measure it.

Re: Cheap dual core radiator $87
It says 2 row "equivalent". That's not the same as actually having 2 rows, but if it's cooling well, that's all that really matters...

Re: Cheap dual core radiator $87
I got a new radiator for my Toyota 4Runner from Rock Auto last year and am quite pleased with it...

Man.
Rock Auto had this one fast tracked to us.
Ordered on Monday and have it in hand Wednesday.
It looks like two 5/8" flat tubes side by side in there.
I can snag my finger nail on the center section of the tubes.
If you squint and turn your monitor too 43 degrees you can imagine that you are seeing a seem that I describe above...
I spy the trans cooler section in there.
Hopefully this will help keep the temperatures in check.
After the system is cleaned with the proper coolant system flush.
