Another radaitor!!!!

[Donnie Yukonie]

well at this rate i dont know when im gunna get my 35s tires for my rims so for the past two weeks my truck has been leaking coolant and suspect in case was the waterpump , at 190k i wasnt too upset but upon further investigation i found that my radaitor of 2 years is leaking again ?? and upon even further diagnose my fan wobbles like crazy so im pretty sure the fan clutch is shot as well , which is the only culprit i can come up with to terms of the premature failure of the radiator.... and i might as well replace the hoses as well seeing as i didnt do it last time . now to dig in my tire money once again my truck is FUBARD at the current moment as im thinking the 4wd actuator is bad as well
so new parts i got today
new fan clutch
new water pump
new hoses
and couldnt remember wether i had the 33 or the 40 inch radaitor so i got to go back to get that...
anybody got 12 hundred bucks i can borrow =)

@ the price of 1,200 seems like he is not turning a single wrench himself!

Or he could have meant he needs 1,200 for tires, on top of the radiator and other items?

Chevy Radiators suck... IMO. I've had several problems over the years.

There is no Chevy radiator. Either Delphi or delco and there is nothing wrong with them.

Whoever makes them.... from my view it's a chevy truck so it's a chevy radiator. Speaking from MY experience... they suck. Of course, that's just my opinion and I'm sure other people have had great experience with them. I've had 5 different radiators in the life of my 2 trucks. I guess it's possible I've had 5 lemons.

Sure there no under lying cause perhaps? Maybe mixture ratio or TSB on the issue. That does seem like lot. Mine is oem Delphi and is at 243k. And a kit of others have similar time on it and are still original. I could swear that at one time I saw oil leak from the cooler section but that was months ago. Personally my oem fuel pump was acting up at 1/3 power so it got replaced today. Talk About a rocket ship. Next time you need one Nd if you are not sure you had one beforehand get a Delphi unit there are the oem supplier. And at amazon Delphi parts are 50 -60% of local store prices. Since they get them direct with out going thru distribution centers and what not.
