Review on Spectra Complete Radiator CU2842: Enhance Cooling Efficiency for Optimal Performance by Chris Shields

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This cooler actually has better build quality than the original!

This doesn't happen every day but when the radiator arrived I tested it for poor quality to make sure it would fit and I had all the accessories. I found this cooler to have better welding quality, the tank feels more solid and it comes with the transmission/power steering cooler connections fitted and ready to take the hoses! Even though it doesn't come with a lid, there's a lot more than I expected for the price! UPDATE: This is really nice! They should have called it "radiator kit" because it came with threaded clamps so I didn't have to remove the nuts from the old radiator. In fact, the only items I carried over from the old radiator are the cap, main hoses and mounting bolts; the transmission cooler was even pre-clad with metal pipes, so i only had to put old cooler hoses and clamps on the pipes. the radiator and the original, if you don't look closely, and it seems to me that the welding of the pipes is better, and the plastic tank "feels" thicker, but the old radiator is in bad shape, so this can only be my perception as I have no way of measuring any differences. If I did this regularly and needed to get my radiators, this company would be it!

Pros
  • Radiator
Cons
