tight tight budget, cars running hot i put in stop leak into the radiator for a small leak and it worked great after 2 weeks i saw the car running hot opened the rad cap and saw the leak molded onto the fins. I figured worth a try, obviously didn't work lol
So I am on a tight budget but I have to get one, if neither of these are ok I'll go to a junkyard and get a stock. But which of these 2 or stock will be better

i couldn't get those links to work. i picked up a HD raditor from a local shop for $135. I asked for the heavy duty one, it was quite a bit thicker than the old one, dropped right in with no probs. i just had to modify the brackets that held it in due to the extra thickness/capasity.

I picked up a HD two row from Advanced and it worked great. You will have to modify the core hold down brackets up top.

There was some scuttlebutt going around some time back stating that the HD 3 cores were being replaced by two cores when folks were swappn rad's in.

Just something to check.

Good luck.
