    Looking at recoring the radiator in my truck, anyone have experience or suggestions on a place to buy a core? This is in the 95 W900 I have, 5 core radiator in it now.

    Next day delivery. Custom radiators if you have those kind of needs. Excellent service, excellent product.

    Put one in my 95 W9 maybe 6/8 months ago. I was and am very satisfied.

    Thank you @Riprap and @Ruthless , I will look into them. KW dealer is asking 2150.00 for new complete and 1400.00 for a new core, just trying to save a few dimes without buying junk, sure you know that feeling. Thanks again men I truly appreciate it.

    Was noticing the truck in your avatar, my truck has a 18" tall bumper on it and it appears, someone needed "rookie poles". Kept searching for a bumper for it, I just can't stand a knarly bumper and can only imagine what the DOT think when they roll across the scales. Anyways... Stopped at local KW dealer just for giggles and talk to my cousins husband who works the parts counter. Low and behold after looking at all options with nothing in stock, I said go ahead and look at the 18" bumper I guess. Wow!! Brand new 18" bumper in stock that had been ordered but buyer backed out, with the 25.00 coupon they had I bought the new 18" Texas style bumper for 336.00 cash and carry. Goes back to even a blind squirrel finds a nut from
    Time to time lol. Be careful out there.

    That's a good price on a stocker. Mines 22/20...or 24/22" I don't remember. $1300 I paid for chrome.
    I got a 4 core aluminum from the place I mentioned, $1250 delivered I want to say. New core was under $1000 I think but warranty is not as good because they aren't installing it. Mines sposed to be good up to 800horse. Lady said they'll make them as big as needed per customer order.

    Got a new core coming from Truckrsdiatorspa, be here Monday on Fedex. Like to have had a 5 core like what came out, but they guarantee their 4 row up to 600 hp. Not doing nothing like that with a big cam so I'm good. Thanks again guys.
