Re: $155.00 Radiator

My $200 (delivered) radiator/fans setup showed up yesterday and I installed it last night. I have to say I am very happy with the fit and finish for $200. It fit perfectly in my factory 3-row mounts. It was packaged very well. The radiator is painted a silver/aluminum color but the shroud is bare aluminum.

I have trans cooler fittings on the way (made a guess that they are 5/16" inverted flare). The upper hose is a Gates 22436 and I cut about 2" off the radiator end. I heated up that end and used some soapy water and it wasn't hard to stretch over the inlet. The lower hose is a Gates 22437 and I cut about 3.5" off the thermostat end. Same thing as the upper - I heated up the radiator end and used some soapy water and it wasn't hard to slip it on.

I won't have feedback on initial function until I have my truck running in the next month and won't have long term testing feedback for quite a while, but I'm impressed so far.
