That's awesome. Welcome to the aluminum side. By the way, don't throw out the box without getting the drain **** out of it first.

Mine got stolen.

I put my old radiator in the box the DeWitts came in, and the next afternoon I noticed someone had run off with the box and old radiator. The drain **** was still inside the box when it was taken.

Oh well.

I'm looking at putting a new radiator in my car with the heat we have here in Vegas. Is aluminum the way to go? Are there any downsides to aluminum radiators?

I am still learning.. but downsides???... use distilled pre-mixed aluminum capatible Prestone (this will be good for my aluminum heads too). I am having mine painted black to avoid oxidized look.

Positive - 2 tubes - not 4 row. !

Tom Dewitt said with the package I should see a 35++ differential
