Radiator HELP!!!!!


Recommended Posts

I called, and told him it may be the same as the above Brats, even though mine is a DL. I even sent him these pics,

but he hasn't gotten back to me yet.:confused:100_0444.jpg

ALL gen one radiators are "essentially" the same and will all interchange. I have had radiator issues in all my gen 1s BRATS, automatics, and FWDs(5 speeds).

 

Here are my notes.

 

  • The GF radiator was not as high and it sat on some steel risers. Why, I don't know, but a regular radiator works fine.
  • The aftermarket radiators almost ALWAYS have the cooler for automatics. Even if they don't , you can add a small transcooler, like a Hayden, for about $30. The air coolers work FAR, FAR better than the internal radiator cooler anyway.
  • All Gen 1 radiators will fit structurally between models. BRAT, GF, DL, BASE, wagon 2WD/4WD. Sometimes in the aftermarket, you need to drill holes in the steel top flange to more exactly match up with the holes in the car's radiator support.

Rex...did you get a radiator yet?

If interested:

 

I have a new one and a used one. The used one is fairly new. It's not a 25 year old original. It was tested OK.

 

$50 used

$109.00 new (what I paid for it).

I would like the new one. It looks like the one I sent pics of right??

 

I could have my sister pick it up locally from ya. She lives in Dallas, I'm assuming you do too? She could even mail it to me, cause she was gonna ship me some Simpson's stuff she got at the Quick E Mart (7-11):grin:
