cost me $380 for a new core in mine while back, so that price aint bad.
how much were you expecting to pay, considering they would usuallly be first thing totalled in a crash...

that was very cheap, the cores I think are more than that.

Nissan wanted $308 trade price for the plastic triangle mirror mount to repair my broken mirror
, so $400 for a radiator, even second hand, sounds like christmas to me.

Yep, farken pirates I reckon!!! Usual story, "can't get that part, have to by whole mirror assembly", blah blah.
I ended up repairing it with $8 worth of steel, arildyte and epoxy putty.
Can't even see it was broken.

ok cool, I was talking to Toughnut and he is looking into running both the front radiator and a second one behind the cab, to help keep the diesel cool. I thought you were looking into the same thing. What kind of event do you get into??
