I think the radiator on Goldies taken a dump. If so, where , or which one is the best? Do I go with an aluminum one, or stick with the factor? These F'rs are almost $ bills, It hurts to give

 

I was going to recommend the Radiator Barn online but when I looked up the price it's almost doubled since I bought one a few years back.

 

Ok, are the 1st gen radiators smaller than say a 93-94? What about intercooled vs non?

 

They are all different, non-I/Ced is different from I/Ced and they are both different from 2nd gens.

 

So I have to stick with the non IC'd? I think mines only a 2row, it doesnt run hot, but I don't get any heat inside the cab hardley. I'm replacing the hoses/themostat and all that crap cause their crusty old. What about that cooling canister deal on the pass. side, could it be bad? I heard you can delete them and I don't know if it's crap as well, now is the time if i'm going to do it.

Thanks for the info.

well i wouldnt get rid of that can on the side of the block if you're already having problems with heat. the only thing i can figure that can is for is a quick source of heat in the cab; it runs coolant thru it and picks the heat up from the trans fluid. i know i'll be deleting it when i do my trans upgrade. summit sells aluminum; truck specific radiators for abit over 500. only thing i've seen as the difference is inlet and outlet location. rad supports should be about the same between ic'd and non- ic'd. i dont believe dimensions are going to be different. just the inlet and outlet locations.
