The radiator on my 1123 is full of sludge and rust. The lower tube on my truck was not stainless and had disintegrated from the inside out which was hard to tell since it was entirely covered in undercoating. Since I’m already installing new hoses, a water pump, and replacing my leaking heater core, I wanted to have the radiator rodded/cleaned. However prices to do a radiator around here are nearly the cost of a new aluminum Champion radiator. Some say an aluminum unit like a Champion is the way to go, but others say even nicer aluminum units like a Ron Davis have eventually cracked at the mounts on H1s. I’ve also heard the “new” factory radiators shipping from Mac motors and such are now aluminum anyway, hence more confusion. What’s the consensus around here for the best radiator?
