    Radiator Questions

    And honestly I would check that radiator with a little air pressure. If it don't leak and it is on the bottom tank I would use it. I removed worse radiators from vehicles during engine replacements and reinstalled them because customer didn't want the extra expense. And it is only cosmetic as...

    That was why I gave the advise of opening the box and carefully inspecting before you leave the store. And you did get the copper brass. Good Deal. Right now everything is getting thrown around with the flu panic. Good Luck. One good thing is the plastic aluminum always arrived undamaged. Be Safe.

    Radiator Questions

    I have encountered the difficult oil cooler line attachment. Not the end of the world. It needs a bit of grinding and sanding and it will fit. Trust me on that. I have encountered the same thing on OEM radiators. I have used dozens of the Spectra radiators and if I did have a problem it was not...

    Radiator Questions

    After our exchange this AM I was in the barn and I looked at the radiator I just had rebuilt. And I guess I was lucky. This radiator is a 4 core. But like I said you can get by with a 3 core and live happily ever after. In the picture do you see how full the tank area is in comparison to yours...

    Radiator Questions

    That radiator is getting ready to check out. It also appears to be a very thin cored radiator. Possibly a 2 core. Original CUVCV radiators were 4 core. And they did make replacements that are 3 core. The number of rows makes the heat exchange greater. In reality you can use a 3 core. I have used...

    Radiator Questions

    I have replaced a lot of Dodge/Jeep plastic tanked radiators. That is not a reflection of plastic aluminum in general. I seen the Dodge Durango plastic tanks crack and get brittle that you could crumble them. Jeep Liberty's also have poor cooling systems and every engine that Chrysler/ Jeep/...

    Radiator Questions

    Yes I do. I never had one fail for me in a CUCV or any of my trucks. They are in every new vehicle out there and I removed a lot of old Harrison radiators from CUCV's over the years and replaced them with Harrison aluminum plastic. General Motors discontinued the copper / brass as early as 1995...

    Radiator Questions

    You buy me an Autozone gift card for a Spectra plastic aluminum one and I will exchange my freshly rebuilt copper brass one. You pay the shipping. That is how strongly I prefer the plastic aluminum radiators. I have had them in every new truck I bought for the past 25 years and do not recall any...

    Radiator Questions

    Also if you do not need the tanks I could use the passenger tank as I need a good one for a damaged one. Are you looking for an old Harrison Radiator tanks? Copper and Brass style? I will have one in a month of so. I can Sawzall off both tanks and mail them to you on your account. I don't want...

    A leaking rubber is never a good thing. But what are you referring to? The mounts, the hoses? Be Safe. Good Luck.

    Radiator Questions

    I have probably abused an M1009 in stock form more than anyone else outside of the military. I never had any radiator failures. A few clogged cooling fins from axle deep mud. But nothing a pressure washer couldn't clean out. I have installed no fewer than 25 of the Harrison plastic aluminum and...

    Radiator Questions

    I have used them and I prefer them to the metal radiators. I have them that are direct replacements from Harrison GM. They discontinued the copper / brass in GM parts in the early 90's. I have the plastic aluminum in the 87 M1028 and the current build M1009. Easier to fix as told to me by the...
