Getting tired of doing things twice....

[Lattimer]

Pulled my 1 month old radiator back out today. Leaking from the seams on both tanks in multiple places. Started as a weep in one spot, but today the rest of it let loose and soaked my driveway. What a POS. Luckily it has a lifetime warranty, and luckily it didn't happen along the road. Sucks that I have to get new mounting strips for my fans (again). Also ripped the lower hose getting it off. That was new too.

We will see how the replacement works, but so far I am not impressed with this Spectra radiator.

Should have the new radiator and hose tomorrow, new mounting strips probably on Friday.

The truck had an aluminum universal radiator in it, but it leaked since I had the truck. It was too big to mount correctly in the truck anyways. So I replaced it with a vehicle specific Spectra from Autozone. Price was ok and the lifetime warranty is attractive. Not sure how I feel about that right now though.
