My radiator has sprung a leak, coming from the top area on driver side where the plastic meets metal, looks like it can be taken appart is it hard to do and how available are the seals/gaskets?

 

Negative, time for a new rad, thats your only option

 

Thanks Red, pricing radiators, now to hi-jack my own thread, a/c compressor clutch, I have replaced or had replaced several over the years on bigrigs, I have called all my local parts stores with no luck! Is the only way to fix it is to replace the whole compressor as well, dont want to have to take to a shop to have freon vac'd out and all that.

 

Radiator shop can't replace side tank and gasket?

they generally can, but Id leave it to them to do it so if they F it up they get to fix it.

 

O yes leave it too the pros. I've tried it a time or two. No bueno.

OK as far as the radiator is concerned, I have a shop here localy I have used and knows his s#$t stinks, but his jobs don't leak for decades when he's done with it, I'll take it to him, come to think bout it i'm positive he can find a compressor clutch too.

 

I'd compare the price and warranty of repair and new. My old '98 Chevy gas pot was cheaper to replace with a better one then fix the factory one.

 

Well The pros where I live are my neighbors a benifit to the small town. Good luck..

 

It's always cost me $60. New radiator was $200
