What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[Sparksalot]

Went for a splash or two Sunday.

I literally just unboxed mine (screw work...) and Saw the cuts in my Champion Radiator. I looked over the box for damage, and assumed that they were manufacturing defects, or some shmuck with a bandsaw messing with Americans.

So this is normal? There is no manual or cool sticker in the box with my new radiator.

As long as the cuts are on the bottom, it's normal.
Something about heat expansion or some nonsense.

Cold case has it also.

Still waiting to get mine back. 9 days and counting. Bare ass hanging up in the air on some hydraulic lift. Oil all drained out of the upper end of the motor into the pan. Battery missing it’s daily charge. All the moving parts and fluids sitting dormant. Collecting shop smell and dust etc. So depressing. My angel, my home away from home. Away from my home. I miss my baby so much.

Soon buddy, soon. ANNND she'll have a new rear end to toy with

Just looks half a*sed to me.

My theory, it prevents warpage when manufacturing.

I have a champion in my c4 vette.

It didn't have any sort of cuts in it.
There was a noticeable amount of "twist" to the radiator.

Just saw a video on YouTube that strangely looks a lot like these pictures.

Was it 1:57 long?

How'd you know?!

Cold case has it also.

There is a cut on the top, toward one side. There is also a cut on the bottom, other end, but same distance from end-tank as top cut.

I'm still waiting on a reply from the vendor, for a reply to their question to the manufacturer.

I'm luckily not in imminent need of a new radiator, and still gathering other replacement parts.

In my mind, that cut on the top and bottom makes more sense assuming I'm right about the reason for them.

I think if my other radiator had those, the radiator would lay flat.
I bet they had a bunch of returns due to the radiator looking twisted due to manufacturing processes.
