I'd go to a radiator shop first. They are usually pretty reasonable. On the chemicals, we used to use Bar's leak as an additive for lubrication and it will stop leaks. But it makes everything look gunky in there. Bronze Seal was another. I'd do the radiator shop first. They can repair, clean out, pressurize and test. Then you'll feel more comfortable.

went to a shop radiator is bad. they said 700 for a new one!!! is that right or r they blowing smoke. any help

www.performanceradiator.com has them for $431 (new).



1-877-Radiator. Be sure to specify that it's a turbo diesel or you'll get the gas radiator. They have next day delivery. That'll save you about 40%.

5. 9l Cummins holds 6 Gallons of coolant. Is the $300. 00 used or new? Sometimes a "really good deal" Isn't.

Tstetson,



Your radiator shop won't strip, boil, rod-out and solder your OE radiator?



In other word, fix the pinhole?
