I changed the thermostat, water pump, flushed the radiator and tried to clean between the radiator and condenser and it still ran hot.

Finally I took it to the vette doctors . They replaced the radiator and the ac condenser. Now it runs cool with the cold ac blowing on high!

Thank you Vette Doctors!

What did they replace with?????? OEM or aftermarket???? Thanks

Do tell.....was it a new stock radiator or aftermarket, and what does the AC condenser do? Is that strictly for the AC? Mine is starting to loose its cool.....Maybe an AC flush and fill with new refrigerant will do the trick.

They replaced with brand new OEM. They said that the dirt and debris were entrenched in my radiator and condenser. The ac is ice cold and the car runs super cool. It is 90+ degrees on Long Island today. I had the top down, the ac blasting and car turning 3,000+ rpms most of the day. The car never got above 230.

Forgive my lack of knowledge, but is the "condenser" part of the radiator unit or part of the AC unit?

I have noticed a drop in "cold" but I simply may need a flush and recharge of refrigerant. Its been a while..... But always good to know these other items as well. My Vette is a 2000, so you never know how much crud is caked up in an 11 year old Vette's radiator.
