Are all c5 radiators the same
I replaced my 2004 c5z radiator with a dewitts radiator and I have a gentleman interested in my stock one and his car is a '00 c5. Will it fit?
Thanks

I believe in the Beer Fairy
as long as they are both the same type of transmissions as I believe the autos had a different setup...

This makes absolutely zero sense..I understand your thinking that the radiator is "hot" so the fluid will be "cooler" but that's just not the way it works.
With ANY type of an automatic trans, you should always be using at the very least the factory radiator as a cooler...better to use the factory AND an external or at a minimum a good sized external cooler.

Just for some facts, I think that the 97 radiator had a different fan shroud mounting bracket method than the later ones. Just saying for future interest if anyone needs to know

I'm sorry but how do you figure BYPASSING THE COOLER will LOWER the temps?
