A few of us have been toying with some ideas. For those of you with a 3 with a manual trans, please post up year, mileage and if you have had radiator issues. Or pm me.

I assume you are checking to see if the radiator used in the manual trucks is a viable option for auto trucks along with an external trans cooler, instead of using a $$$ aftermarket radiator? If so, not a bad plan :thumbs:

That's what the plan is. And we even have a guinea pig already

Lol I give you the credit. Genius idea...I knew Zach couldn't come up with that one :hans:

I don't care that I'm the guinea pig, I care that my damn radiator is cracked! I'm just happy I can still drive without any concern due to the trans cooler. All I have to do is keep an eye on dex cool levels

Believe everything is the same. Pretty sure it does not have the cooler. Didn't open it. By myself today and busier than ****. And it's a lot cheaper than the auto radiator. Roughly $50-$60 less. Price was in $190's. although guinea told me what Oreilly quoted him. He paid more .

Oriellys is probably a POS though and if you look for one it won't come up under hummer H3 it's cross referenced to a 2010 Colorado with the 5.3. Auto zone wanted 431 plus tax

Don't worry, I used the credit card on file. Total came to $350 shipped. Just voided the warranty on it. Oh and not returnable. And it might get you to KOH. I sent out a bunch of defective parts today. And the same goes for you Alexis. Might want to check the label

That's good! I've replaced mine after the top tank started leaking and paid $270? I believe, GM dealer in Dallas.

That's a good price. They retail for over $400. But how long ago? GM does price updates every month. Some stuff drops. Almost everything else goes up.

Yah this was before I found H4O, 3, 4 years ago. I researched and found part number, located it on the website. When I called the dealer to make sure, he told me I had the wrong one, pointed me at a $450 radiator. I thanked them and hung up, and ordered off the website for $200 cheaper :) It was the same radiator so I don't know? Local dealer told me $750, sheesh
