How much was your radiator?

Where did you buy it?

How is it performing?


I'm trying to get a consensus on the best "bang for your buck" when replacing the faulty factory H3 radiator.

Inevitably, someone's gonna post, "there's an old saying, you get what you pay for" -- but most of us who have been around the block once or twice, know that that's not always true.

Remember, another old saying that goes, "there's a sucker born every minute."

Hopefully, if we get a few responses, we can come to a reasonable conclusion.

Thanks!

 

3yrs later still holding strong and I haven't had to add any coolant since install.

 

I have the Silla as well. 40-45K miles and almost 4 years, still going strong. I think it was about $125. If it broke today I would replace it with the all aluminum one on GStyle4U.

Nice job on the thread Art. I like it.......Kudos!

What rsc said X2.

 

Thanks Doc.

I know you'll disagree and it would be nice to have the aluminum for sure -- but based on others experiences, I'm going for the Silla -- 'cause I can do a lot with the $439 bucks I'll save.

Thanks for your help.

 

Ebay... $100 or less... 2 years later still works

 

***UPDATE***

FYI

This radiator has worked flawlessly for 16 months, including 2 summers. No leaks, never required additional coolant, temp gauge stayed under half-way mark even under stress on 100 degree days.

The one I purchased was the OSC 2855 Radiator for $110.79

I added the AC DELCO RC85 (GM OEM) for $7.83

The total w/ tax and shipping was $145.76 -- it was purchased from Rockauto.com

Since I'm poking around in this forum this week about to replace my thermostat, I figured I could give another update here to maybe help out anyone in the radiator market:

Silla radiator outlasted the oe radiator! It could also be that my mod made it happen?
