Re: Ls swap radiator
It's an oil catch can for the evac system. The ls engines are notorious for injesting a small amount of oil through the evac.

Re: Ls swap radiator
I chose a Griffin with the inlet/outlet on the passenger side. I wanted a radiator made in the USA.
Interesting comments on RND radiator from both sides. I am not going to judge who is right and who is wrong. I will only say that forum members should try to purchase products made in the USA. It's important to support these companies whenever possible. Seek them out cause they help to make our trucks roll again. I could really give a crap about cheap parts made overseas. Merry Christmas..... |

Re: Ls swap radiator
Well I needed a rad quick and couldn't front the cash for one made in the US. If I did I'd have gotten one from entropy or RnD. Instead I decided to get one made overseas but at least I still supported a seller and forum vendor in the US, not straight from eBay. Sometimes it just isn't worth twice the price.

for real man...I like how they put the air ride suspension in...my trucks already static dropped but would love air bags...heres my baby
|
Re: Ls swap radiator
Yeah they like to use air ride stuff, but for good reason. It turns your vehicle into a blast to drive. It rides better, handles great etc.

quick steam port question....I did some reading a found that I could use a rad hose splicer for the steam port...do I still have to drill a hole into the water pump to run it or can I run it to the stock location under the throttle body?
|
Re: Ls swap radiator
If you splice into the rad hose you don't need to drill the water pump. If you drilled it then you would run the line from the TB to the top of the pump.

Re: Ls swap radiator
ok kool thanx man..glad I got that cleared up finally
|
Re: Ls swap radiator
oh yeah one last thing...what size would I need?
|
Re: Ls swap radiator
What size splicer? Depends on the rad hose you picked up. If you mean the port on the splicer then I'm not actually sure, you'd have to measure the steam port hose from the TB

Re: Ls swap radiator
What's the idea with adding the steam port?
|
Re: Ls swap radiator
some people tap their waterpump for the steam tube to connect to, but we prefer to install that in our radiators. You are more likely to have a waterpump go bad than a rad, and if you are out away from home when it happens, the odds of you having a drill and tap in the truck is unlikely. We include them in all LS conversion radiators at no charge, unless the customer doesn't want the port.

Re: Ls swap radiator
Hello Naught
What upper radiator hose are you using? Came up on this posting looking for one that would work for my swap. Hose brand & part number would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance |
Re: Ls swap radiator
Wow, that's a crazy upper hose, Blackpony, but it obviously works.

Re: Ls swap radiator
Yes that's what it is but anyone know what hose Naught is running for his upper hose?
