okay take a look at this picture! Do you think I need a new radiator or radiator hose?

 

Sorry to say new Radiator. I see this all the time.

 

man tech! you had to brake the bad news to me!!!!!! lol

 

I know when I bought my Yellow one it was exactly like that. I installed another one and 1 month later a tractor trailer tire took that one out.

 

ouch man! that was a lot of work for you! But hey! I need your assistance! where to buy a new raidator and like what other new parts would I need for it? since you already have replaced it! and also! How soon should I repair this? I dont use my car much often. well maybe just a few miles a day! just because I need to work and save up to buy the parts!

 

Try to find a Nissens they are the best replacements. Also change the thermostat.http://www.fcpgroton.com/product-exe...category_id/93

 

Thats not a bad price with all my contacts and good prices I get I paid $170.00 for mine.

 

well is there a chance you can hook it up too?

 

Mine was a local price. If I were to buy one and send it to you it would be about the same as from FCP.

 

Since you are changing the radiator, I would do as Tech said and change the thermostat too. Additionally I would consider doing the hoses too.

 

it's not a bad job, pretty straight forward. definately do the thermostat as some of you know that 5 dollar part could have saved me allot of trouble.

i get lucky when i'm buying new parts for the brick, fortunately i get them half off

 

 

spioana - very creative way around the posting issues. I like it. I agree with others - do the hoses and T-stat at the same time.

 

oh, and be careful with the transline clamps i learned that the hard way

 

Yes do the hoses at the same time, especially the lower one. Also you should order the 4 clips that hold the oil and trans cooler lines to the radiator, I found that when I did my radiator they where not reusable.

 

aight well ibought the nissens radiator, but whats special with the radiator?

 

forgot to mention! which thermalstat do i need? saw like 3 different type of angles...

 

The fit the best. Most of the other ones the holes don't line up. Angles for thermostats?
