Radiator blues - Fragrance of a rebuild
 

Desiring an OEM radiator type, I picked up the first one from Summit. The transmission line nuts were bad and I was glad to get rid of it, but the warranty had lapsed long before.

Picked up the second radiator from a different manuf. via speedway. Shook like a tin maraca.

Heard about US radiator, $1100 gets a real nice piece you'd think. Heavy, perfect shape and fit, and a super finish. When all else is said and done it leaks. I have an appt. for alignment Wednesday, and will get confirmation in writing. What a hassle and expense, and the delays even worse.

The strong and lasting odor of a fresh rebuild took me by surprise, testimony :devil:auto paint, powder coat, hot & cold cerecote, and por15 engine paint. Kind of cool really:chevy:

Props to US radiator so far. Their communication and care noted.

" It would be unusual that the radiator is leaking but anything is possible. Photos are very helpful sometimes but you can’t always see well enough. If they verify the radiator is leaking, we will get another in process and when you receive it, put the defective in the box and we will pick it up."

Good news to hear. Fingers crossed they are the kind of stand-up vendor we all dream about.
