what material is the stock radiator made out of?? i got a REPLACEMENT radiator which appeared to be a 3 core brass radiator. which of course had a defect so i had to bring it back!!!!!!

what would be a good radiator for about $150? what materials should i look for in a radiator??

 

i got a griffin aluminum for 250.....id spend the extra money if i was you............depending on what car you have,if the tranny cooling lines run into the radiator the stock replacement will be about 500........i run a seperate cooler for tranny with a fan...i think that cost me 130 so if you run seperate systems you probly lookin at about 400 total.........well worth the money to keep things cool if ya ask me.........but do what you can afford

 

just read your sig.....i had one of those poly trans mounts for about 10 minutes......thing transfers all the vibration right to your seat..............i like a new stock rubber one the best

 

Stock on yours would have been an aluminum core with plastic end tanks. Honestly, I would stick with that configuration rather than going to a brass/copper setup.

 

The replacement you got was made in Taiwan.
Send it back to where it came from.

A factory radiator has an aluminum core with plastic tanks.
Some of the foreign radiators are aluminum too.
Look at the tanks, Factory radiators will have either the name
Harrison or the RP logo casted into them.
