    Default Not yet.. however

    If you do a search in the upper right and corner, there are tons of threads about Radiators.

    My '95 runs very hot when I'm sitting in a drivethru or a redlight for a minute or three. So, I may be changing my soon too, unless it's just a Thermostat which I hope that's all it is.

    I purchased an OEM unit from my favorite radiator guy. Been dealing with him for about 40 years.

    Fit perfectly (of course!) and is doing a great job.

    I replaced the radiator at about 90,000 miles IIRC. I have over 124.000 miles now.

    Cools perfectly!

    After replacing your radiator, please be sure to SAVE the WAVE!

    Most likely your thermostat, get a balanced heavy duty 180, youll run perfect
