Need a radiator
Long story short, I broke the nipple for the surge tank hose off the radiator. Need a new radiator. Where is a good place to buy one?

I keep close-ish c-list contacts and Trevor still has his radiator/core support.

92-96 powerstroke Core support with radiator

Its a ways from you, but I could try and help you out. Spring break isnt all too far off.

The picture he sent me.

I talked to a local radiator shop and it turns out the quick fix is to drill and tap the hole for 1/8" pipe thread. Then buy a brass nipple and you're done. I'm gonna give it a try tonight, got nothing to loose.

I broke mine also, and went with a aluminum radiator. Got it from diesel performance products.

I think there are quite a few guys here that have done that with good results.

Good luck.
