Mine has around 50K on it.

To be sure were all on the same track, your needing a TPI radiator,the one with the extra coolent nipple comming out of the tank below the cap.
Correct?

I have 1 of those and 2 of the others.

transambill, that is the one I'm looking for with the extra nipple.
I'm going to be out of town for a couple of days but let me know how much shipping would be to zip 51351. I'll get back to you ASAP.

the one i have has the nipple also goes to the heater valve, all v8 cars have them, v6 cars don't, thats the only difference in the 2 radiators, my offer still stands on the 89,000 mile one, its only about 15.00 to ship one ups

No, Not all V8's got the one with the extra nipple.

I'm currently parting 5 3rd gens,84TA,86 Firebird,86 Camaro,83 Z-28,and 86 Iroc. All are factory V8 cars,All came with radiators.
The only one to have the extra coolent nipple is in the 86 Iroc as does my 87 Iroc,Both TPI cars. Changed a thermostat in an 89 RS yesterday with a TBI305 it had the nipple also. Check your info before you post.

I shipped a radiator back in May to MI and I'm in IN thru UPS and it was $29 and some change. I'll refund the diff and cover the diff. if it's more.

Your not going to sell much here if you come in and under price everybody especially with a post count of 0.

It's all good

I just know the going rate on here for them and the ones with the extra nipple bring a little more money.

I thought it was odd that you've been registered since 2002 with a post count of 0.

But really with the amount of scams on here you'll have a hard time selling with no or low post count and under priceing someone in a thred. Nothing bad directed against you.

If I was a buyer I wouldn't buy anything for more than $20 from someone with a low post count unless they would ship it COD or had some type of poss feedback.

OK guys chill out. As long as it has the extra nipple on it, that the one I need. I don't know about anybody else but I would pay slightly more for low miles.
Transambill you have a PM.

strange, I had a post with one for sale. I just put in on my 88 formula and then ended up parting it out. it was a new rad. not even 30 days on it. no one wanted it same thing with my sending unit and gas tank (those were a bit older but, still very new. I ended up throwing those away. I could not even get 20.00 for them togeather)

be carfull of the used ones. they start to crack at the tanks and you can't tell untill it is in the car and warmed up. just to let you know be aware of what you are buying

Correct, Thanks for the heads up
Most of the time you can find cracks and in the aera of a crack the tank will swell or bulge out. Something not so easy to find ahead of time is a bad seal. There's a rubber seal that go's bad thats between the tank and the body of the radiator.

The one I'm selling is in a running car. I found a dated receipt in the console from when it was bought.
With my luck, after the one I'm selling is shipped, the one in my car will start to leak.

speedemon75 PM back at ya.
