GM radiator????

It has come time to replace my radiator, however I noticed the nice little GM stamp on top of the radiator. I've had the truck for about 3 years w/o any cooling problems - until now. Does anyone have any info about this radiator? Possibly cheaper? Or maybe better cooling...Also, just swapped out the water pump, pretty easy job!

Sounds like you have a replacement radiator, not factory original.
Would be interesting to know the specs on it.

If you have a 22R/E, you can upgrade to a 22RTE (3 row) rad for < $100 from your local TransPro (GoDan radiator) wharehouse.

Re: GM radiator????

Where was your truck manufactured? Some GMs and Toyotas are made on the same line.

Re: GM radiator????

Check with your local radiator shop. They may be able to recore your radiator for less than the cost of replacing.

Re: GM radiator????

Yeah, I figured it was not original equipment, however, I will double check where it was assembled. I will tackle this small project this coming weekend. I will also check into re-coring. Thanks for the suggestions and help.

GM Radiator in your pickup

Your GM radiator is ORIGINAL equipment. You can get a good radiator at http://www.radiatorbarn.com/ . The GM on is probably not worth rebuilding.

Re: GM radiator????

New radiator has been installed. The GM radiator was shot to hell. Decided to get the 3 core 22rte from NAPA for $140.00. Pretty straightforward install, other than it has been about 5 degrees outside during the day. Thank goodness for my garage. Thanks for the suggestions KimMG and fourwd1.
