Need new radiator, any aftermarket recommendations?

Hey Guys!

 

Hope everyone is doing well.

 

Well its been a while since i have posted anything mainly due to work, but pathy decided she wanted some attention today. The bearings on the water pumped decided to not work, and just explode, made the most terrifying sound!

 

I have already ordered a new OEM water pump, along with some OEM rad hoses and a new Gates timing belt and tensioner (might as well). I figured i'd start ripping into her while she was down and do a little inspection, since it had been quite a while since i had done one. Glad i did, the radiator end tanks are so soft and brittle, the top hose connection completely sheared off while removing it.

 

I did a quick search and found that while an OEM radiator is outrageously priced at $500, aftermarket ones are much more economical. But being the aftermarket, not all are created equal.

 

So does anyone have some suggestions they can give on some replacements they have had success with. Maybe even an all aluminum one?

 

Thanks guys.

Aftermarket is fine. I replaced my leaky one with a Denso brand I bought on Amazon and it has been good.

I just put in a Denso and the fit was perfect. Been in three weeks now and no problems at all. It was well packed. It does not come with a cap so hang on to yours or order a new one. Looks exactly like the OEM.

Denso it is!

 

Thanks for the suggestions guys!
