Default anyone have luck with ebay radiators?

Since I blew my hg and I have sludge in my cooling system, i'm thinking its a good time to replace my 98,xxx miled OEM radiator with something new.

any reccomendations that are cheap would be great

hey bro. i did a search awhile back about ebay radiators and from what i read there were a lot of good comments and satisfaction with the radiators. i wish i didn't buy an oem dual core radiator. if i read about the ebay ones before i would of gotten one of them instead.

Great units.The only difference is you dont get pretty polishing and grinding down of welds etc.

I picked one up as well. not sure what "brand" it is, it was marketed as "like spoon" lol. it was cheap, aluminum, and thick. its also polished, and the welds look just like my old fluidyne. so we will see soon since my car is almost done. if it sucks, then im only out a few bucks.

Ebay rad's are bling bling & are well worth the 100 bucks spent.

i just got mine from ebay a few days ago, and i searched on here forever looking for what radiator cap would fit, never got an answer

so i took it down to the autoparts store and found one, and it is from a 1993 Nissan 240sx. hope this helps

my ebay radiator works great

unles you're upgrading.. you should be able to find one at some local auto parts store for good price. i purchased one localy.. its fullsize single core with cheaper quality plastic than oem.. but it works.. and thats all i care about.

I will like 14th the motion. I bought one from Godspeed on ebay. Called em up and payed a bit more on shipping because I needed it like then and they came through for me. I have 0 complaints about it and it cured my problems immediately.

Definantly won't knock the ebay radiators although most of the stuff on there is pretty crappy.

The only thing I don't like about these ebay radiators ( have a Yonaka version BTW, same thing though) is that the hose in;et and outlet are still the smaller D-series diameter and not the larger B-series size. OTher than that, they are great
