Z Radiator

[dhayes5]

My radiator is leaking and I am looking for a new one. The dealer wants many $$$ for this so I looked on the internet and found a place called team radiator. They have a replacement for $127 with free shipping. This looks pretty good -- maybe too good. Has anyone had experience with these guys or any aftermarket radiator they would recommend?

Any perils to avoid with one of these non-OEM radiators?

Are you sure it's beyond repair? You might ask a local radiator shop.

for about the same price and made by Modine. I had one in a 73 I owned and never had a problem with it. It worked well.

if you find a radiator shop specifically , most people charge around 80-100 to recore it <believe that is the term> I have seen the the 3 rows at msa for 200, not sure how much you were gonna spend , but I have found the dirtier and older the radiator guy is , the better the work he does , not sure why :classic: good luck ,

Dropped it off at the radiator shop today. The guy knew right where the leak was (guess he had seen this before). Also wanted to know if I wanted to sell the car. Noooooo!

Anyway I am supposed to get it back tomorrow. Total cost about $75.

Well see how this turns out.

Got the radiator back and in the car the night before Thanksgiving. The shop did a nice job. Apparently the shop that repaired it for the PO did not.

Anyway, I had it done by North Raleigh Radiator (for those who might be in the area) and am very satisfied with the result.

They also re-painted it so it looks nice as well.
