READ WHEN USE WITH NORTHSTAR CADDY

Radiator bent and opened during shipping. The reason for the 3 stars is that if you are using this in a Cadillac the two bolts at the top of the extreme ends of the radiator bracket are too long and will pierce the new radiator as the design is different from the original. If you don't trim them down to a third of their original size, you will puncture both end caps and destroy your new heatsink.

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Not sure

Problems found in radiators

I took my Deville 97 to the shop because the engine was overheating. This radiator was installed in a workshop, but the engine had to be replaced due to engine overheating. Now the store that installed the motor tells me there is no water circulating through the radiator that was installed at another store and according to Amazon the return deadline for the radiator was June. Revane, this is very disappointing!

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Good but not great

Perfect for spares

Perfect for my 1998 Cadillac Deville 4.7L Northstar. However, this job is not for the faint of heart. It takes about five hours to remove an old radiator and another five hours to install a new radiator. Refer to the attached photos for the number of parts to remove. This product comes with adapters for your transmission lines. It also has an extra cooling tank for your engine oil, but they are not used on this particular model.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Modern

Buyer Warning! Bought this radiator in April 2016.

Caution! I bought this radiator in April 2016. Defective product: after 2 months the radiator was leaking. Special Warranty Condition: Warranty service contacted (because a two-year warranty is advertised). We have found that for warranty service you not only need a receipt for the purchase of a radiator, but also a CHECK THAT PROVIDES A PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION! I'm a homemade mechanic. Thank god I only spent $100 on the cooler and not the extra $250 to install it. (Please note installation…

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Lots of stuff
