Re: Shop truck build

In the "you get what you pay for but sometimes cheap works" category...we have this radiator...
Fitment was perfect and install was pretty simple...had to fab up some top brackets out of a piece of metal door trim (yes...that bracket is SEMA quality, I know), but it settled in place nicely...
I knew sumptin would go wrong with this piece and it showed itself when the trans cooler outlet threads stripped out immediately...no biggy...picked up a junkyard external and all is right in the world...
Next issue was getting this baby to burp...she didn't want to...took a while and she made sure to spew multiplemany times...
Really, this unit works pretty well (he said unit) for what it is...in normal, stupid traffic during hot days, it keeps the motor about 185 degrees...if I am running the A/C (don't judge), it hovers around 205 but I gotta keep an eye on it in heavy traffic...
All in all, I cain't complain...$255 for a radiator/fan combo...I'd by that for a dollar...
