Aluminum radiator.

[H3HummerLineX]

Hey all.

So I'm ordering one of these.

It's an all aluminum dual core (2 row) radiator. Anyone have one installed? It's supposed to be a drop in replacement for the factory unit. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this unit. I need a new radiator and this one seems the be the best one I can find

Retail is 529.00

If you get it, let us know how it does and any installation tips or issues. Good luck.

I thought csf was a single row radiator? Just different tube design which are also bigger?

I'd be interested in this radiator also. But before you buy it for $530, check this site out... they have it for $430.41 and say they have it in stock! http://www.streetsideauto.com/p/csf-7061/

They make a single core alum and a dual core. Here is a snapshot of the site wit the dual core. They have it in stock. Manufacturer won't have any for 3 weeks.

Careful with G-Style. They always say they have everything in stock and usually don't. They won't rip you off but you might be waiting a long time to get it. I strongly suggest you email them asking if they actually have the item in stock.

I've dealt with them plenty. Just want to avoid you any headaches. They never scammed me, but did have to always wait.

Seems that they're one of the only places I can get this radiator from. I called the manufacturer and there wholesale only

If you're in a rush you may be out of luck. If you're willing to wait, just ask the manufacturer who your local resellers are and order it through them. If G-Style says two weeks, they most likely mean 3 or 4 which coincide with manufacturer. If you're in a rush you have the Griffin option as another great double core radiator that doesn't cost over $1000. There's a thread on this forum about Griffin radiator. That's the one I ordered.

I really like mine from VIVID racing. It sure does help with hot temps.

Is it a dual core?

Does this one give substantially better cooling for its 3X cost over OEM style.

I agree. One must ask, am I likely to go through 3 more radiators before I sell my rig?

 

[ReconH3]

A dual core will definitely cool better than OEM. For the Alphas it's even more significant. If you have a winch even more. Second point is that it will always be cheaper than replacing a tranny. As soon as the Griffin I ordered arrives, I'll be replacing my OEM one even if it's not damaged. I'll keep my OEM as a trail spare just in case. I would never get one of those $1000+ all aluminum radiators since they are way too expensive having other more affordable options. The ideal radiator would be an all metal old school radiator that's double or triple core. Unfortunately there are none around that I know of.

The unit I ordered is only a few hundred moe than the OEM unit. When speaking to the sales technician he stated that this unit will cool the H3 faster. It will still run at 200-210 but when it gets to 215-220+ it will bring the temps back down much faster since is a dual core aluminum.

This will be my second radiator since I bought the H3 a year ago. I hate the single core plastics and figured what the heck, might as well try the dual core aluminum unit. It's two weeks out. After I get it installed I will post pictures.
