Well, I put my 3 core in today...had to modify the upper rubbers for it to fit. It may not be what you need as I'm running 10 degrees cooler here in Texas. Since you're up north one of the doubles should be fine.

Yea its pretty much leaking in the same place. If i drive it for a little bit and then park it, its almost like its peeing on the ground from that area.

Is it leaking here like this POS? I'm guessing that over time the temperature differential between the trans cooler lines and the upper radiator hose cause the plastic to flex and warp, eventually leading to a crack. That's why I'm going the aluminum route.




p.s.- I'm doing mine this weekend, so maybe I can put together a how-to for you if you can't find one.

Edit: Just found this video that tells you how to do it...

I like to check 1aauto.com for parts and a lot of the time they will even have a video that shows you how to put the parts in. There's a lot to be said for a company that does that for it's customers.

Here's a link to a thread of mine where I posted up some pics of the top profile of the radiator. You'll have to get out a 10mm socket and take out the three top bolts of the radiator shroud and pull it back a little to tell what kind you have. Sorry I didn't take pics of the install, I was in a hurry to get it done...it took me a couple hours to do, but I did take a couple breaks since it was 100 degrees outside.

The 3 core all aluminum one is massive and barely fit in there, but should serve me well when I take my truck out to the desert. It's also very nice that I don't have any leaks anymore...I was getting tired of my radiator pissing on my driveway.

Just think of it as it is sweat from all the horse power that is what I say when mine starts leaking.

So I have never bought anything off the internet. So how does this work. how does the return policies work. Is this one going to really fit.
