Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey guys my radiator is shot just wondering what my choices are
rebiuld/recon,second hand one what else would a gu one fit?
its for a tb42 carby

cheers paul

i know alot of people have troble with the petrols getting hot while in low range so maybe this could be the kick up the bum to go get a nice big 3 core radiator. thats if the wallet will allow it.....

whats your budget?

try aussie desert coolers.

Got a new three core for my TD42 from Repco for $460 trade, obviously it will be more if you dont know anyone in the trade. Recore on my original 2 core from local Natrad was going to cost the same & they quoted 700 to recore it to three core. I went new, 2 years warranty & cheap to boot.

at around $1000+

1000+ for an aluminium.
they do standard radiartors also for around $400-$600
and a triple pass for $700

have used them many times for worked v8s that would run hot. real good stuff.

I bought a complete new radiator from a Natrad dealer at the end of last year, which cost me $484 incl GST.

The part number was NIS973CMD. This is for a manual TD42 (GQ). From memory the petrol one is about the same cost.

So far it seems to be working pretty well. The only thing i wasn't really impressed with was the slightly smaller diameter (about 2mm) of the filler/cap neck, which makes the cap very hard to remove and install.

Hope that helps.

I had the same problem with mine, they need the correct size one fitted as mine failed on a trip

whats a GU petrol got? mine looks fairly big. 2 or 3 core??

which model GU's have the plastic tank radiators?

Thanks for all the info guys i ended up getting an after market one i think its a Q 3 core it fitted ok but the temp is sitting just above half my old one that was half corroded kept the temp on a quater any ideas

Did you replace the thermostat/coolant, bleed the system properly & make sure the bottom hose isn closing in on itself?
