    I purchased this radiator to replace the original in my 1998 Chevy K1500. I made the decision to purchase the Ready-Rad based on another that I had bought for my 1969 GTO a short time ago, which dropped right in and was almost a spitting image of the original Harrison unit. This is a great product for the money, especially considering all of the sub-standard off-shore parts that are available. This radiator was again nearly identical to the original with the exception of the transmission cooler line size, for which the correct adapters were included. Like a previous reviewer I needed to replace my oil cooler seals which were not included, but not a deal-killer by any means although I can see some inconvenience for those who do not have an o-ring assortment at their disposal.

                    Had some difficulty with the added adapters that had to be screwed in for trans lines because it added length and the hardlines were already at the exact length for the stock radiator, but with a little bending it went in. Just frustrating getting there.
