Re: Which Radiator
I have underdrives, new Advance Auto parts Water pump, T-stat is about a year old, Fluidyne is about 2 years old, I have tweecer but the fan settings are at stock turn on temps, My fan assembly is about 3 years old.
Hell in the winter time I can be driving down the highway and the autometer guage never gets above 165 degrees. And I know I have a 180 in there because when I was burping the system of air when the guage hit 180 water in the radiator started flowing.

Re: Which Radiator
part of the reason mine runs so hot is that I have an oil cooler mounted at the base of the chin spoiler in the lower valence. I still need a new radiator though....too many miles to ignore that !

As far as the Afco, it's a quality piece. The tanks are good and thick and of course it's polished liked the Fluidyne. Here's a pic...... |

Re: Which Radiator
well I ordered the fluidyne at optionimports.com
radiator cost = $322.46 shipping cost = $37.51 ______ total cost = $359.97 $90.00 less than AFCO radiator alone and $120.00 less than Ron Davis. thanks all for your input!!! |

Re: Which Radiator
I wondering if i'm missing something here my car has right at 220k on it still with stock cooling except for a 160 degree thermostat. my ? is why aren't you guys running the 160 degree thermostat since you have cooling prob. cause my car in the summer heat doesn't get above the O in normal and in winter it barely makes it across the line. oh by the way this is my 94 gt i'm talking bout.

Well I dont have an overheating problem but for what its worth, the Factory gage is not very accurate. Mine when it was still hooked up showed the same as you about to go past the "O" in normal which by autometers reading 190 degrees. |
