dhayes5 Posted November 19, 2003 Share #1 Posted November 19, 2003 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?

MikeW Posted November 20, 2003 Share #2 Posted November 20, 2003 Are you sure it's beyond repair? You might ask a local radiator shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZmeFly Posted November 20, 2003 Share #3 Posted November 20, 2003 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seerex Posted November 20, 2003 Share #4 Posted November 20, 2003 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 , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhayes5 Posted November 25, 2003 Author Share #5 Posted November 25, 2003 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.

dhayes5 Posted November 30, 2003 Author Share #6 Posted November 30, 2003 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.
