Testimonial for DeWitts
Just letting you know, I bought your aluminum radiator & dual electric fan combo through Corvette Central for my 1971 Corvette Stingray 454 w/factory AC, and had my mechanic; Curt Odom of Compton Motors in Casa Grande, Arizona install it. I had hoped it would help the engine run a little cooler, but never thought my overheating problem with that big block, factory AC, and the Arizona heat, could ever be cured. Man was I in for a surprise. Even climbing slow mountain roads my temperature gauge stays in the same place. The feeling of security and not having to worry about the car overheating has caused my wife and I to enjoy the car much more. Your product was the best investment we made for our enjoyment of our old corvette. Thank-you, for making a quality product. It has led to a joyful change in our lives.
Thank-you,
Rick O'Neil

Way to go, Tom DeWitt. That is very cool (sic) to see a post like that. You and your staff of professionals have had my support for a while, too.
I'll be back and keep up the great work on your fine line of cooling products!

I've had Dewitts radiator installed in my 75 for 6 or 7 years now. I have no fear of overheating in any situation. 100 degree stop and go traffic, no issue, the temp never moves past 180. When other vette people see my engine bay they always ask, I tell em, they buy one. I know at least 5 people who have installed them. All say the same.
After spending $$$$$ on an engine, Dewitts rad is a no brainer!

I have Tom's radiators in my 61, 65 and 68 big block. On average, the temps went down 25 degrees on a warm summer day. They all run about 180 under any conditions. Great radiators. They look correct and cool even better than the originals.
