Northern Radiator

Oh ####. I didn't even think of that. I might have to remove them to do that. Thanks

 

DETROIT RADIATOR

 

Does the paint affect heat transfer from the core to the air?

 

I put an Avtekk CAC in my FL back in the fall/winter 2019. It looked like a Duralite except it was several hundred $$$ cheaper. So far so good no complaints.

I put an Active brand 4 row radiator in my T600 and that was a good radiator for about 5 or 6 years before I got rid of that truck. Only complaint there was the first one they sent leaked and had to be swapped for a replacement but the replacement was good.

"Made in America" - good luck finding that...

 

Love my duralite for CAC

 

Active website describes themselves as an American manufacturer.

 

Likely. But they rot to #### otherwise/ Rotten off fins dont cool at all, and if you’re in the salt belt bet them fins will be toast n possibly The core will be puking which I feel is a more significant tho not as immediate a heat issue as the paint will be.

 

Which brand did you end up with?

 

I paint my a/c condensors. They come without paint. Used some “radiator” paint from O Reilly’s. It’s just thinned paint. Last one, I just used regular Seymour Big Rig paint from Truckpro. Just did a couple light coats. Just don’t want to plug up the fins. I should have hit my radiator and cac before installing. They were painted already. A couple more light coats wouldn’t have hurt.
