Re: Cold-Case Aluminum Radiators
I just bought one from Jegs, shipped to my house from Cold-Case. Their price is $399, but all their retailers have a $325 price. They apparently don't want to deal with retail sales themselves. Free shipping from Jegs.
I guess you could say it's a good product. I put it in about a month ago and forgot all about it until I say your post. It is replacing a brass 3-core that had a slow leak, so I had to get the longer saddles and rubbers to fit a 4-core size.

Re: Cold-Case Aluminum Radiators
I wasn't happy with mine. It was advertised as direct fit, but the reality is that it requires modified mounts. The top and bottom mounts for a small radiator are too small and the mounts for a factory 4 core are too large. When I called them on this the answer was " The hoses will ho!d it in place just use the large mounts". Jegs had no issue with me returning it. For more information and photos check my WMB tread below page 14. It may be a good radiator but for that money it should fit as it is advertised. If I had wanted to fabricate mounts I could have installed a great generic aluminum radiator for half the money.
I see your at three posts so, Welcome aboard!

Re: Cold-Case Aluminum Radiators
I bought the full package
Radiator, duel fans, fan shroud, wireing kit. from the Cold-Case trailer guy runs my card for payment then tells me doesn't have all the parts but would ship the next day. that was 4-29-18 to this day don't have a complete setup every time I call or text bill he says he will check in to it and now wont even respond has been 2 months . what poor costumer service don't expect them to honor the warranty based on this. if it goes bad at The Madison Classic’s Spring Jefferson Car Show and Auto Swap Meet Bill Guzenski Western Region Sales Manager Cold-Case so if you buy at the shows make sure you see your parts before they run your card something tells me I will never see the unshipped parts. |

Re: Cold-Case Aluminum Radiators
I’m really surprised to hear these comments...you do know that Cris, one of the owners, is CCAS here on the forum? My experience was that he is very concerned with the opinions posted here...message him

Re: Cold-Case Aluminum Radiators
I have one sitting in the box ready to install on my 67 Suburban. I have test fitted it with great results. I like what I see with this product over some of the others I have purchased.

Re: Cold-Case Aluminum Radiators
>>Bill is our Outside sales person. ............You need to call our offices to get some action and updates. Call toll free 1-844-REAL COLD and someone will be able to get you some answers.
Seems simple to me. Call the Company Offices, not the guy that's on the road. He's telling you Bill is the wrong guy to contact.

Re: Cold-Case Aluminum Radiators
I wonder where Ccas's area of expertise lies? What sort of company exec knows about a problem and says to call customer service?
Probably a manager and nothing else, I guess there is an actual Michael Scott |

Re: Cold-Case Aluminum Radiators
I'd do some research on him before insulting him or his skills, abilities and contributions to the old car/truck hobby. He has been instrumental in developing many classic and hobbyist automotive parts and companies. Performance Year (sold merged with Ames Performance), Pypes exhaust, Snappin Turtle, Cold Case, etc. started Max Performance which continues with a 30 year history of development of parts for classic cars. He has a long earned good reputation. One of the conditions of the sale of Performance Year retail end was that the PY Forums be continued. It is a super Pontiac Forum that shares tech advice and information just like this forum and cris is directly and hands on involved in that too.

I am not still venting I still believe the product to be of top quality and a fine purchase. I only suggest that you make sure the distributor you choose HAS your parts. |

First off, yesterday I reached out to you via PM and you texted me the info I needed. I thought we had a plan to get you taken care of. Coming on here after that to continue to vent like you are continuing to be ignored is a little bit of a low blow. I know you are upset right now. You should be. I don't know what happened with your calls. I do know that Bill is a very passionate car guy. He would not purposely blow you off like it sounds. He doesn't do things like that. He would be in a whole lot of trouble if he made it a habit of blowing off customers for 2 months. This is the first complaint I have ever received about him. For future knowledge, Our toll free number is on the business card directly above his personal phone number. If after you didn't get any response, why not take advantage of the toll free number? In the mean time, Can we stick with the plan to solve the problem first thing Monday morning? As I said in the PM, I am very sorry you have had to wait so long. the shroud you ordered went on backorder right around the time you ordered it. Why you were not notified is what concerns me most. To solve the problem, It appears like we have a shroud in our Scottsdale warehouse that we can get on it's way to you on Monday. I just wanted to confirm it's actually there before I promised it to you. I sent e-mails to the appropriate staff. So they will be reading and executing my instructions in about 8 hours. |
