Ok, so while getting my celi safety/emissions inspected the mechs came and got me and told me that my radiator was cracked. They said it happened while revin it to 2500 (if you look at my paper work the highest they got it was 1750...freggin motards). I did a search on the forums and I noticed that someone said you could just order the cermaic top/bottom. My questions are how much do these parts run, where can i get them, how do install them? Or would it just be a better bet to get a whole new radiator? Im open to recomendations.
Thanks. |

ya i had the same prob it cracked right at the top on the part that goes up to the cap (if that makes sense) really easy to DIY i called several shops and they said it would be cheaper just to get a new radiator...if you are going to go between napa autozone and oreillys go for napa
order from expensive to cheap oreillys napa autozone i just dont like autozones parts so i went with napa it was like 180 tax included took longer to get the radiator than it did to install : ) fans bolt right up easy peasy |
