1988 Rad replace

[joshwazo]

Radiatorbarn.com has a 3-row all metal replacement for three dollars less than than the two row. Any reason not to use the three row? Anybody had experience with the radiatorbarn?

I don't see any reason why not to use a 3Row Vs. a 2 Row radiator. A 3 row will increase the capacity to maintain the temperature of your engine at hot Ambient teperatures. i'm running a 4 row Aluminum radiator on mine and it works great out in the Ranch where it spends most of the time on idle. As far as any dealings with the Radiator barn, i haven't done any business with them nor have i even heard of the name. someone else here might have.

I actually just got a new radiator from radiatorbarn less than a week ago. Had zero problems other than that their shipment tracking system didn't really seem to work. That aside, I got my radiator in less than 48 hours (I ordered it on a Sunday though, so really I probably got it in 24) and it was a perfect fit, as promised.

I've used radiator barn with success, and have never heard a bad thing about them. Hard to beat the prices and warranty.

Thanks for all of the feedback. Radiator is ordered. I will update this thread with the results.

Ordered radiator from the RadiatorBarn and had it in two days. Three core was the way to go. The tanks are the same size, so fit was perfect. Good quality and all of the fittings were in place. Thanks to all for the help.

Too bad this is coming too late. You could order the rad for a '91 and get the exact same rad WITH a cap opening and get rid of the stupid bottle! (just needs new heater hoses and a shut off valve to finish the job)
