Outstanding product -
"Being a bit of a romantic I thought I would do the deed on the missus's birthday as a bit of a treat. I ordered it well in advance and working in the North sea I considered myself a bit above some of the characters writing the previous reviews and wrote them off as soft office types...oh my fellow sufferers how wrong I was."

ok... rant on Calling Griffin Thermal Products out on some utter bull****
I called to ask how to proceed with a warranty claim seeing as how my 8 mos old radiator is leaking between the core and the tank.
Well Pam was only able to inform me that they do not warranty that radiator because it is not a direct fit model.
Well guess the **** what pam? read the warranty. Especially line 1.

This warranty does not cover labor or materials not manufactured by GTP. All shipping charges are the sole responsibility of the purchaser and are not covered by this warranty. Radiators repaired or altered by parties outside GTP are not covered by this warranty. The retail purchaser is responsible for the appropriate installation, application and use of the product.

Now evidently my model 1-55202-x is not a radiator but just a finned fluid cooling device
Her actual verbage was "honey we dont warranty racing radiators" Yes ma'am but this is not a racing radiator...
well honey we only warranty catalogue items. Yes ma'am look at page 5 of your catalogue. (its in summits catalogue too)
What catalogue honey? ma'am the one on your website i assumed youd be familiar with
Ok well thats a universal fit Aluminum RADIATOR. Exactly, so line one comes into play, do you not warranty your aluminum radiators???
OF course we do, but that is not ...... (Interupted here).... This is not an aluminum radiator???
Well yes but ...... so you dont actually warrant your aluminum radiators?
We do, but only direct fit models. Not custom units. WTF pam.... page 5 please.
We cannot help you sir, i can provide you the direct fit model number for a 77 fj45 to purchase that we can offer a warranty on.
No thanks, if you can't warranty an aluminum radiator as your warranty claims I have no confidence or desire to buy anything else from you.
Im sorry you feel this way. well im sorry ive wasted 300 dollars with you , how bout you change your warranty to indicate that you dont warranty your aluminum radiators, because, you know, thats what line one says, and thats what i bought from you.
OK ill tell management to change the warranty, have a good day. OK pam..... but if i was having a good day my radiator wouldnt be garbage.
(gonna call this as BS too until i see it)
I was extremely polite and asked to speak to management and was told she is capable of handling such claims and it simply "is what it is" just out policy. (ET moment of wanting to reach out and touch someone here)

@jfz80 I had a 180 degree response with a radiator that was 1.5 years old and developed a pin hole leak at a weld. They sent my customer a pick up label and the new radiator went out the door the day the defective one hit their shipping bay. I deal with Michelle Morgan, Tom Knottek is Director of Sales
