3sgte swap radiator? Options

[Rjb23]

I couldn't find this anywhere, but when you guys did the swap did you use the st185 or 205 radiator or will the stock one be sufficient. I have the ST btw and it gets around 85 to 100 degrees here in the summer time almost everyday.

I wouldn't skimp on cooling, a good radiator is the most important part of the cooling system, yeah the water pump is important but consider this if you run a larger radiator than stock with a stock water pump then the water will still flow at the same speed which means it will sit in the radiator longer getting even cooler, a stock GT radiator may work for the 3SGTE but it will cut down the overall lifespan, increasing the cooling fan size will help also. IMO if you do a swap from a GT-Four clip I would use the GT-Four radiator also just to be safe. I had a GMC Sierra so I know all about cooling problems.

there are no issues with having a 3sgte and a stock radiator. the 3sgte radiator isint any bigger/better. its just that you cant use it because its not the same size and will not fit into the mounting holes and the in/out hoses are slightly off. the stock radiator works just fine
