new radiator

My old stock radiator leaked few points, around filler neck, around radiator input and output. Decided to upgrade radiator, good aluminum ones are crazy expensive, affordable ones are mostly having negative reviews. After short googling, ordered Spectra Premium CU1193 Complete Radiator with 16lbs Stant 10230 Radiator Cap.







They arrived and installation is straight forward. After filling with coolant, it seems volume is lower than stock one, but after few days it almost emptied overflow bottle, needs adding some more coolant.

A/C radiator and hoses were removed, because it lost refrigerant within weeks after filling and now also finding R12 is very difficult nowadays. Result:
1. got a some space in front of radiator and
2. no air blockage, means better cooling :D
