Any way to salvage this new radiator (Carquest 812855)? I don't see a way, but would like a second opinion.

The line ports stick out about .5" further than OEM, so the tubes won't pull back enough to fit into the clips. The OEM ports are below flush with the clip mounts, but this new radiator has the mounts above flush.

 

CSF 3720 is only $82 - $112! Super cheap, 2-year warranty Anyone know if it fits?

 

Yeah, that doesn't look right. On my radiator the fitting is flush to the radiator while your's is standing proud. Can you return it?

 

I can return it. I ordered an AC Delco 22000 radiator from RockAuto. Ugh, it won't be here until mid week.

 

Whew! The ACD fit perfect, of course. Don't use the Chinese units! From what I can tell, it looks like all the aftermarkets are the same radiator, regardless of brand. The CSF may be different since is it ~$150 cheaper than the aftermarkets and only a 2-year warranty.

This was my first time with RockAuto, and I had a great experience, except that it looked like the radiator may have been an unused return.
