Maybe cause they were posted TWO years ago. 
I just installed one over the weekend. It works great; it dropped the temp from the A to the O. I can even run the air conditioner in stop-and-go traffic and stay right on the R.
I used the SUM-380428 (19"x28"x3"), and I was able to use the stock fan and overflow bottle. It's a little tight between the fan and the water pump pulley, but it fits. I'm also gonna replace the overflow tank with an aluminum one from Summit later this week, but only because I don't like the looks of the stock one.
I'll try to post some pictures tonight when I get home.

Actually, I posted them in a new thread last week... should have mentioned that here, now that I think about it. If I've done this right, the thread should be here:

Or if that doesn't work, do a search on 'summit aluminum radiator'.

I will post some pics soon.
I got it in, tested it out today mid 90's temps. without the it would run up to jst short of 210 and the low speed fan would come on (this was in a little traffic, not hig speed). Once the speed went up (35-45mph) the temp dropped just a bit. I then kicked on the AC (max), bam, the thing dropped to 195 (I have a 195 degree thermo), and just stuck there, whether I was moving or not. Note, I have not modified the operation of the fan in any way, I am considering it, I usually drive with the windows open, it would be nice to have the option of dropping the engine temp with the flip of a switch.
Another positive... the radiator is only $159 now...
If I did it again, I would consider ging the fluidyne route, it took me probably a total 6-8 hours for the install. I work slow...
