Member Contributer whiteknuckles Posted October 21, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted October 21, 2018 Needing to replace a few parts on my lady after an accident. Looks like a new left OEM radiator is about $300+, whereas after market run $200. Anyone have positive experiences with an aftermarket radiator?

Considered it, but my current radiator is only SLIGHTLY banged up, hardly noticeable, and that's enough for the fan to no longer spin. So I'd be concerned that another used one would just be more of the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bending the fan mount a bit gave the fan enough clearance to spin freely again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a little gentle encouragement, it seems to be ok. Wont really know for sure until I get her all back together, but all seems well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
