Re: Aluminum radiator
The Champion's aren't bad. But you'd be better off looking a 2 row 1" tube Champion instead of the 3 row. The 2 rows actually have more cooling surface than the 3 rows on these aluminum rads.

Re: Aluminum radiator
i dont know if its the exact same co. but i got one of those aluminum rads off of ebay that was garenteed to fit and looked very close to that write up. it didnt fit for crap. if you look where it would mount into the hold downs. our oem rads are rounded tanks these are squared off and i found out our mounts dont work without modifying them. again not sure its the same co. but price sounds about right and looking like the one i got. just food for thought

Re: Aluminum radiator
Champion is a cheap radiator that is made over seas. I would just be careful with them. I havent heard to many good things about them.

Re: Aluminum radiator
I have one in mine and it works great. Temps are just outside of the "cold" range on the gauge. I love it. By far, the best $200.00 I've spent on the Blazer. I reccommend them to all my K5 folks in south Texas. It gets really hot here and the radiator performs flawlessly.
