Review on TYC 2778 Aluminum Replacement Radiator by Ulysses Fincher

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Do not try to reuse original hose clamps if you are also changing hoses - this is not without a great deal of effort.

Comes with an open fitting/nipple on the upper tank (passenger side) which must be found to close (as on the 2006 Outback - this fitting can be used for other applications). I had to go to an auto parts store and get a 2" hose with a 0.5" ID and put a two yoke cap screw on the end to cover the nipple. The rest looks fine and works. Do not try to reuse original hose clamps if you are also changing hoses - this is not without a great deal of effort.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Poorly thought out
