Hit Man, did you buy a new radiator? If so how much are they going for? I was thinking about upgrading to a HD radiator, maybe get one from a wrecked truck or junk yard.

I snagged my 3/4 ton rad from the most unbridled form of capitalism I've ever seen... EBAY. I paid ~$40 for the rad and like $50 to ship it!

There are three that are $100-150 on car-part.com in Texas alone...

redaddiction has my stock 1/2 ton rad now.

Yeah I paid more to SHIP it that it cost! The box it came in was HUGE. I was like "WTF Mate" is that my rad?

Oh yeah, the cooling capacity paired with a 160* thermo kicksass. Temps stay in the 180s easily. I highly recommend one. The mounting holes are already there.

Oh yeah... the one I have doen't have the engine oil cooler as it was from a Suburban.

Do the 1500 series come with oil coolers anyway? If they do, what did you do with the lines that ran into it?
