75 Series Radiator.

Post by fat496 »

Got home last night and as i pulled up water and steam started gushing out of a small hole in my radiator in my 75 Ute.

Have priced up a few today, and $375 is the cheapest i could find, brand new.

Is this the best i'm able to do? Is it worth forking out a bit more for an alloy radiator or should i just stick with a std one?

Should i switch to a thermo while i'm at it or stay with the stock fan?

Should i modify the shroud (and if so... how?) for the body lift i'm going to do soon while it's out?

Anything else i should watch out for or do at the same time?

Has anybody got a free radiator i can have? :oops:

$375 seems like a decent price for brand new. jus keep the standard fan it works fine and when u body lift it youll have to cut the bottom of the fan shroud . i took the whole bottom off myne so the problems whatsoever. :)

Dont get an alloy one, get a brass soldered one. If you do happen to hit something, they are more forgiving than alloy :) Brass and Aluminium have the same heat dispersion qualities too, there is bugger all difference.

Spoke to a radiator specialist for hours on the topic, he seemed to know what was going on!
