Re: Inexpensive Radiator I Need One.
Boy howdy, it is all too obvious that none of you who said get the radiator rebuilt have not had a radiator rebuilt lately or even hunted for a shop that will still do it. Or you think 6 or 7 hundred to have a radiator rebuilt is "cheap".
I doubt that there is any chance of slipping across the border to have a shop on the other side redo the radiator at a far lower price simply because they don't have to deal with the hassles that US shops do. That cooler is an auxiliary cooler and those plastic push pins that go through the fins to hold them on can rub a tube the wrong way and also just vibration can cause a leak around them. Still the first step is actually figuring out where coolant is leaking and the pressure test should show that. Then plan a course of action. I don't know anything about these three vendors https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...iator&_sacat=0 But you can't beat the price with free shipping if you are looking for low buck. Only driving it will show if it stands up to ElPaso summers but if you need to get the truck going to be able to drive it to where you need to go with it that might be the way to go. Provided that the radiator is the correct width.
