why would you want a thicker radiator? radiator + fan almost hits my headers... take that into consideration if he plans on upgrading.

It's hard to believe they are making any money selling at that price. It's also hard to believe it's a decent radiator for that price.

What are you using the car for?

Aftermarket performance radiators are nice, but if you only have a lowly D series with no boost. Go with OEM and save your money for something else like ****.

I picked up a OEM Modine for $90.00 with a lifetime warranty

Koyo, best radiator out there. their oem replacement is TWICE as thick as stock and cools 30% better. I got mine on ebay for ONE HUNDRED BUCKS SHIPPED. check them out. best cheap upgrade i ever got.

I heard that with some of these aftermarket radiators they cool so much the system stays closed loop because the motor still thinks its cold? Which hurts fuel economy and the cylinder walls? Because of the rich mixture.

You get what you pay for. Unfortunately they all dont work out as promised. I paid the extra money and went with a pwr, simply because if there is probelms they will gladly help you out and replace it for that matter.

Your thermostat determines how hot or cold your engine is.
