Thought I would pass this information along in case someone is in need of what appears to be quality aftermarket rad- I saw in post where a fellow mudder had ordered a CSF rad from Performance Radiator- googled them, found their site and started looking around. Found one that was built for 81-87 6CYL 4.2L 255CI - called and got correct info on my second call to them @Spike Strip
This rad is made in Thailand by Radicon. Guy said they had been doing business with them for 30 years and made a good product, "solid and heavy duty" and said that they had made OEM products for Toyota and a few others- Well the parent company is shutting Radicon down due to production cost of the brass/copper - Long story longer, they have two more in stock in PA and he said when they're gone, that's it- . And these are an exact match of the OEM rads without tubing for auto trannys... Mine was $575 shipped. Should be here in couple days.. i'll post up some pics.
