Radiator replacement

[Sdp1234]

Towing today with my 2004 Denali xl 6.0. Radiator is leaking bad. Had it towed home. A radiator replacement is now required when I return from camping. Should I go with an upgraded radiator while I’m at it? Recommendations?

Pretty sure the 6.0 trucks/suv had the largest radiator available. I would probably go back with a gm replacement radiator

I would get a new transcooler while your at it. I been looking at getting one for mine. The true cool transcooler look to be very good. An since your towing it will definitely extend the life of your tranny

Thanks guys. I have an aftermarket cooler but not the true cool. Thinking of bypassing the radiator with the trans cooler so I’m not adding the engine heat to the trans. Do the Denali’s have the oil running through the radiator?

If you've got the time & money I'd go with the completely metal radiator. The high impact plastic ones always crack along the seam.

I would not do that. In winter the fluid going into the radiator tanks helps bring up the temperature making it more efficient.

Would go stock or Mishimoto and there's another good one someone recently bought and liked... can't remember.

I bought a Coldcase all aluminum radiator for thecopcar. It looks like it’s a fit for the NBS Hoes as well.

That's the one, thanks!

Is it's performance on par with the original OE radiator or does it exceed it?

My cold case is really nice I would absolutely buy it again.
