Stock Radiator Re-Rodded.

has anybody ever done it and is it worth it, my stock radiator is looking pretty clogged up and dirty on the inside, they will do it for $50.00 down the street, any board member have any imputs, and what kind of cooling gains did you all get from doing this?

thanks in advance

Since you have a motor and trans worth a few thosand dollars to replace, you want to spend only $50 to have an old, wore out radiator "fixed" and have it protect these items?

Sorry about my cynical comment, but radiators do wear out. They were cheap, 70's old-tech to start with when new. Have not seen in the past few years, an original radiator from a turbo car that was able to flow over 50%.

You want cooling gains, get a new radiator or a good new core for yours.

Here's a radiator fact that surprised me- I had a leaking radiator side tank on my '94 Chevy K-Blazer replaced at 130K miles, and even though the inside of the radiator looked spotless, a friend advised I should have it rodded out anyway.

The truck's operating temperature dropped from 200º to nearly 190º !!

If your rad LOOKS clogged and dirty, imagine the improvement from a new replacement core.

Just get a new rad from Nick Micale.

Hey Nick, I'll let you know when I'm ready to buy that complete unit.
