I purchased a radiatior from them off of Ebay - they are the same as www.radiator.com. They sent the wrong one at first - 3-core instead of a 4-core - but they got a replacement to me the next day. Overall, it was a good transaction, and it was cheap, but it's not quite the same as the original radiatior. The top part along the fan shroud is concave instead of looking solid between the rad support and the shroud. It's hard to explain without a pic, but I know you've probably seen the same radiators in other trucks. I bought one of those metal plates that bolts to the top radiator brackets to cover it up.

That's exactly where I got my big block truck radiator. All smiles...

I got the same 4 core from US Rad and they even brought it to me. It's a big sucker, I had to go to a 180 degree therm to get some heat into it. The gauge just just says CoooooooooooooooooL.

I got my 4 core from Autozone online. It wont go above 160 degrees with the 160 thermostat, even with 90+ temps and at idle. I bet they are made by the same company, mine looked a little twisted, another radiator I got for my 94 Ranger was twisted bad but still worked great.

i have a good used 4 row in san bernadino if you are interested.

**Yukon Jack** · 07-21-2004, 11:31 AM

That ebay link sure is a good price.

JameslovesJammie · 07-21-2004, 11:41 AM

I ordered one from them on Friday, should be here today. They actually called me last night to check and see how the radiator was working! Don't hear that very often from an eBay seller! The only thing I worry about is if they are sending me a 3 core instead of a 4 core like they did to mikej71. I'll let you know later tonight how it goes!

cheyenne10 · 07-21-2004, 12:09 PM

add says for truck "without" heater hose. Whats up with that?

JameslovesJammie · 07-21-2004, 03:23 PM

The heater hose is for trucks with a/c.

The radiator just arrived via FedEx so I'm gonna go stick it in. Will let you know how it all goes.

later,

I got the same radiator. The first one was damaged in shipping but they sent out another one with no problems. Good company.

teeitup · 07-21-2004, 04:26 PM

That seems pretty reasonable, I have a bunch of 4 cores I was going to get redone, it cost $70 each here to clean them and fix any leaks.

paintpyro · 07-21-2004, 05:13 PM

I got my 4 core from them, it took a while for the Pay-Pal to go thru, but arrived safe with good packaging.

**68 Stepside** · 07-21-2004, 09:29 PM

Awesome heads-up 72dually. Looks like I'll be buying a new radiator soon....Thanks!!

72dually · 07-21-2004, 09:40 PM

No, Thank you guys for the heads up on the no heater hose connection, I completely spaced that, I have a/c, so I'll have to contact them, glad I didnt bid. It sure seems like there some satisfied customers, sold me, gotta get one now

Tx Firefighter · 07-21-2004, 11:05 PM

I had the same deal, with the heater hose fitting question. If you call them on the phone, they will sell you either one you want, either with or without hose. It doesn't seem to matter to them. They just ask you which auction you won and look up the right part number for you while you're on the phone with them.
