Where is everyone #5

Well i obviously bashed it on something. Im leaning towards when it came out and didnt notice before i went to putting it back in. Because it went in with 0 problems. Guess it doesnt matter at this point. Is this something that a radiator shop can fix ? Or am i in it for a completely new one?

 

I would imagine any decent rad shop should be able to recore it. Gotta be cheaper than Paccar Tax.

 

A good rad shop with old guys in it would be able to fix that.

 

My local radiator shop stocks them so you don't have to wait. Then they repair the trade-in and have that in stock. As long as they have the right one.

Might be able to stumble across that in your area.

 

I would 100 percent fix that. If it’s a couple tubes or 3 I’d soldier it and move on. It’s not gonna reduce flow enough to matter in the big scheme of things

 

We use a place in SLC call A-1 Radiator. They will totally rebuild a radiator like that for about $450. If I'm not in a burning rush they'll even pick up and deliver it all the way up here in Evanston.

So I'd try to get it fixed, it's going to be cheaper than a new one

 

10-4 guys . Thanks for the help . i found a couple radiator shops in phoenix ill give a call to on monday morning and see if it can get fixed... I guess i got only got myself to blame for not being careful enough

 

Don’t be hard on yourself I’ve been at it a long time and while not often it will happen to me.


I think you’ve done a helluva job all around.

 

I’m with cooter. Solder the tubes up and let her eat.

 

And just my two cents. I always fire it up the first time before I put the radiator and coolant back in it. No particular reason other than if something ain’t right I don’t have to take all that #### back off. Plus it’s also like a little confidence boost to help you push through wrapping it up.
