The OP asked about Entropy radiators.

I am a little disappointed to see a vendor hijack this thread to push a special discount for CF members.

IMO

 

go check any radiator thread... happens about every time.... i agree with you. p

 

You cant just read one post you have to start from the first one on the IMO did not try to do anything other than do what we asked. How is that stealing A thread. the forum people know dealers read their posts.Im glad they pipe in once in a while or all the time it does not matter we are all looking for good prices and good customer service,
Are you guys on any other forums???
We need to pull together.

 

Sorry - I disagree.
If a vendor wants to offer a special deal they can start their own thread.
Look at Wilcox - they announce deals all the time.
I just think a vendor posting a deal offer in a thread that is titled with another brand is just a little tacky.
No big deal.
And the vendor in question has a great product - it is not a slam of them at all.

Peace

It's a tough economy out there for everyone.
Available cash rules.

 

How's this hyjacking? 13bats said earlier if we ran a sale he would buy ours.

 

Wilcox is imho one of the best we have here.... they will chime in with help, guidance and direction, without EVER trying to sale you something.... I will always buy from Wilcox, this is how a company is run right.

Ever have a friend that is in real-estate or used car salesmen... always trying to make a sale on you...,,, and after a while, you just hide from that person....

before Nextell bought my business out, I had 5 stores and ~50 employes, when a costumer came in we helped first, then if they ask, we would sale.... good business.....

There is ALWAYS a comparable product, and an alternant choice.



Wilcox always helps, without asking for a thing, that is why they will survive.

 

Go back and read post #5.

Sorry you cannot see my point.

You could have pm'ed him.

Not trying to make this into a pizzing match.

Hey Bats! long time since I sneeked back down here. One other suggestion would be to do what I did when lame brain hauled my car here and busted the rad among other things. I wasn't too happy at what the online places were asking so I called a local radiator shop I had done business with in the past and bought a brand new rad for $110 plus sales tax for a total of just over $118. Beat the crap out of the $350 to $500 on line sellers. Just food for thought. Coop

 

That fan mounting plate sure blocks a lot of airflow through the rad. I would be concerned about sustained high throttle operation such as spirited mountain climbing. That might overheat.

 

Sorry, but looking at those welds it's really not even in the same league as a Dewitts or a Becool.

Is it Chinese?

 

Mind blowing....my car was running hot with stock fan with clutch or flex fan which was worse than stock fan,

As you know I was ready to buy a new aluminum radiator and aftermarket Spal fans,...since it seems that's what the aftermarket has to offer,...but Spal fans are far from the best or best value.
As I always do I got deep In my research on the subject because I didn't want to waste toad pelts and I wanted a cool running car,

I guess most of the rhyme and reason got lost when this thread went more towards whose radiator to buy rather than addressing my cooling problems,
I spoke with a "nameless" vender NOT involved in this thread on the phone the other day and after describing my cooling issues he said "Well, that's good news for you and bad for me as you do not need a radiator"

So after having other of lifes demands in the way it took a few days to get it all set up.... I did my beta testing tonight on my Corvette 4 core radiator and Taurus 2 speed fan,

As I said it was beta so the fan is just clamped in place no sealing of any kind and not pretty like I like things to be but okay for testing.

My 180 degree switch for low side needed an adapter I do not have so I ran low with a toggle and high with the Hayden adjustable thermostat, ( cheap model )

It was somewhat cool out and took a spell of putting around the 'hood to get the car to warm up,
When the needle got between the 2 and 1 of 210 which is straight up on my 69 temp gauge I hit the low speed switch,
Very quickly the temp dropped to the first hash mark before 210 in other words very cool,
I drove around and got on her and it didn't budge, I let it sit at idle about 15-20 minutes and it moved less than a needle mark,

I assumed the high speed of the fan much have been on for it to be so cool now.

much to my dismay and pleasure the low speed was keeping me this cool which means high will do the job in hot traffic with AC ( to be added later on )

These Taurus fans are nothing short of incredible...no aftermarket fan will touch them...period, and I have personally tested many aftermarket fans.

I believe one moral to this story for me is before I give up on ( in this case the radiator ) and just throw money at something to make it work I really should make sure everything is working the best it can,

My hats off to the radiator company who was more concerned with doing me right than selling me a product which prodded me to try this and saved me a pile....

 

Don't see a problem here at all. I am very happy with the radiator I bought, but I also said if DeWitts had offered a sale, I probably would have gone with them since they are a sponsor.

If a sponsor wants to offer a deal to some one looking at an outside product, how is that bad? You can buy it or not.
