Review on GM Genuine Parts 20837 ๐Ÿ”ง Radiator: Reliable and Authentic Cooling Solution by Brent Borseth

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Don't waste your time with the aftermarket

99 S10 Blazer 4.3 with automatic transmission and 4WD. The original radiator lasted 20 years and 130,000 miles. Purchased aftermarket radiators from two world-renowned auto parts stores, both selling under reputable brands. The AT fluid and oil cooler fittings were so poorly machined that the lines would not snap. I even removed the fittings and snap clamps, oiled the o-ring and steel wool, and cleaned the end of the line. So I couldn't plant the Autobahns to the end. As a result I ordered an AC Delco radiator here, switched the old fixtures to a new radiator. The lines snapped into the old fittings. Yes, the new radiator no longer has working drainage as noted by other reviews.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Unreliable
