A great replacement part for the car. Had a question concerning the transmission cooler section and found no instructionsd so I called Ready Rad. Got an answer with no wait or problem. Turns out that the transmission section is independant of the radiator itself and if it does not apply to your application the plastic plugs can be left in and does not require hook up or permanetly plugged.

8 months and 14k miles later and it is LEAKING coolant at the trans cooler hookup, NOT GOOD. I would expect a part of this kind to last 3-5 years or more without incident. I should note that both radiator and trans hoses were replaced and new coolant was installed
Replaced an OEM that went 148K miles. Install was easy, except for the missing replacement clips/screws (old ones were badly rusted).
Note: A FEW PENNIES to include some replacement hardware WILL make this a COMPLETE product, and keep your customers happier.

    First time I used on-line order/store pick-up. Worked great. Radiator very comparable to original. Don't forget to save the screw clips from your old radiator.

          Comments about Ready-Rad Radiator:

          The carton for this radiator showed no signs of damage, but the radiator itself had several compressed fins due to the OEM handling and packaging of the unit. Luckly, I have a radiator fin comb. Radiator fins on an auto or A/C unit are usually delicate aluminum, so combing them requires a bit of patience and a deft touch. The product seems to be well made and included new mounting clips and bolts. The install of this radiator was very simple after researching the internet for details.

                A:

                While replacing the radiator the engine needs to be flushed to keep all the dirt out of the new radiator. It is also recommended to replace all the hoses if they are a few years old. For any further assistance please feel free to call us at: 1-877-238-2623 or visit the nearest Advance Auto store and one of our representatives will gladly assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.
