Is an aluminum radiator worth the $$??

[PSCBrenden]

Is one of those light weight aluminum radiators worth the $$ and will they really make a difference over the stock one as far as keeping the car cooler?

Not really. Maybe if you are stuck in traffic, driving hard or racing.

If your sig info is right, you already have one. Pop your hood and check it out.

If you have to replace your current one then I would say go ahead and upgrade, but until you have to replace it, your current one will do just fine

He was probably was aware of that being that all radiators today are made of aluminum. They will cool better but if you stock one isn't busted or leaking then I wouldn't spend all that money for for one because they are only going to cool just a little bit better unless you have a race car.

I would not do it. I bought a be cool rediator for my 88 iroc. It lasted about 1 year. strated leaking and could not find a shop that would work on it. so there was $500 down the drain. only thing I hate about aftermarket is they are not alwasy designed as reliable unless I just got a lemon. I just put a be cool in a 4 runner on a v8 swap we will se if that one lasts.

I have no heating issues what so ever in my car so I would go with the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" mentality.
