For anyone who spends $4-$6k on a rebuilt engine, it's probably wise to spend the extra $200 or so for a brand new BEHR South African aluminum radiator, easy to install when the cooling system is already opened and the engine out of the van, you gotta bleed the system anyway, might as well bleed it with a new radiator.....especially if you intend to travel to the southern US, Mexico etc.... My 2 cents, or should I say $200 for piece of mind |
