Title: Radiator problems need help
Post by: CatWoman on July 31, 2016, 10:22:27 AM
My 86 Cougar needs a new radiator, anyone bought any of the all aluminum ones and if so what company and brand is good?  I bought a plastic side one and the nipple is broken so now I'm sending it back so if I have to do it again I think I'll buy one of much better quality.  Some recommends please.  3.8L V6 engine with automatic transmission air of course.

I ran the $80 specter brand aluminium rad for a mustang, but it had plastic sides. Still have it, and it has given me no issues.
