I am looking for a decent radiator. Mine blew yesterday, I had 3 tubes with holes in them (with 1 tube being a 1/2 in by 1/2 in hole). I tried to solder them but it didn't work out. I ended up putting JB weld on the holes. Just need something to hold it for 4 miles. We move to a new house on Friday, so I just want to drive it the 4 miles to our new house.

The cheapest I could find in the phone book was $179 with a 1 year warranty. Then I found this on Ebay - 8055273713 - it comes with a lifetime warranty, and the price is the cheapest I have found so far.

Anything cheaper out there anyone has come across, or does this look like the best deal so far?

Thanks in advance.

 

Modine is the only way to go.
You can have yours re-cored, using your existing tanks.

 

I support my local supplier if possible. I think you should shop around locally and check all the parts stores. If you buy locally you have someone to talk to if it doesn't fit or there is a problem. The e-bay rad looks fine but when you include shipping and the possibility that you could have a problem it isn't such a good bargan. IMHO!

 

I called around to all the local stores and only 2 of them carried a radiator for it. Both of them were around $230.

 

Call again and ask for Modine brand. It should be in the $165-180.00 range.
Modine is my prefered brand.

If you are running a FE in your truck you can go up to 76 in year model. There is a radiator shop outside of Durham that has great prices on Modine radiators. You might check with the ones in your area.

I bought a Modine at NAPA last year. I thought it was around $170.
