🚗 Spectra Premium CU161 Complete Radiator: Ideal for GM Model Cars and Trucks Review

I installed this on my 1975 Chevy. It fits perfectly and I received it in good condition. Looks high quality. Cheaper than if I bought it from a landfill.

Three times thicker than the original. About the same size. Odd slits on the underside that almost penetrate the fins but barely let them through. The time will show.

Fits perfectly on my 1979 C-10, didn't have to change anything! I'm not a fan of driving my truck during Ohio salt season, but since it works in my garage, it looks like it works like a new radiator should!

. Fits the width of the hole but is about 2 inches shorter. All transmission hoses and lines are aligned where they should be. I removed the AC capacitor entirely and modified these brackets to hold the top of the heatsink. Quality part, just wish it was the right size for my application as suggested in the chart.

1971 Cadillac deville. Everything is connected/twisted. But inlet and outlet are too close together. The hoses rub slightly on the core carrier. I slammed the hood when the radiator was hot. It hit the lid and ripped it off, and I lost all my coolant, so I'll probably have to put thinner rubber supports on the bottom. The photo shows a manufacturing defect when someone was somewhat happy with the saw when cutting relief slots. I don't care because it's still shaking the water. Another 1/4 inch…

Bought this radiator from RockAuto for my 1981 Cadillac El Dorado. I didn't want to wait for a custom order. There was an error. Problems: Doesn't fit. Drain cock interferes with fan cover Standard fins are 2" x 0.5" wide. This heatsink has 1" x 3/8" fins. The drain cock is on the opposite side and is useless. The inlet diameter is smaller than the standard cooler. Tank capacity is reduced by more than 20%. Now I don't have $125 and still have to wait. If you drive battered old junk then…

The neck of the radiator cap does not seal well. Plugs for heater hose outlets that aren't needed for your application are ridiculously cheap. The worst rubber compound I have ever seen. After several warm-up and cool-down cycles, the rubber failed and I had to buy more antifreeze. If you even touch the cap while it's warming up (tried several different caps), coolant will leak out until it cools down again. The neck seems to be too low and has minimal contact with the cap butt, so the 16psi…

Installed this aluminum plastic radiator on a 1977 Oldsmobile Delta 88 with a 350 Chevy 4 cylinder engine with air conditioning in place of the old copper/brass radiator. All I had to do was 1) bend the driver's side air baffle slightly away from the tank to keep it from rubbing, 2) use a knife to slightly trim the rubber mounts to fit the wider driver's side tank, and 3 ) Apply sealant to the inside and outside of the flare and threads of a transmission cooler line to prevent slow leakage…
