jking220 Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Looking to order some parts for the STS, namely a front motor mount and outer tie rod end. I was thinking about replacing the radiator while I was there since I dont trust the plastic end caps, but theyre not cheap for OEM. I may not replace the rad right now since I hope to not have to pull it to do the motor mount, but Ide like to do it this summer sometime. Ive seen some aftermarket rads that are 100-200 less than the OEM. I know people here have used them, would you recommend them? What brand did you use? Im looking online, but I want to find a local rad shop and see what they have. Thanks for any advice Jonah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Nunnally Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Are you comparing the OEM prices from discounters like http://www.gmparts.com or http://www.rockauto.com ?

jackc Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 I replaced mine with an aftermarket from Rockauto last year and am happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navion Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 I bought an aftermarket radiator for my '94 SLS from WWW.PARTSTRAIN.COM back in '03. The price was $159.95 and included shipping. I had absolutely NO problems with it. The fit was great. It also had a lifetime warranty. I would buy from them again, if I ever needed another radiator.

kens96 Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Bought a few from Advance Auto. They are all made in China or Mexico. Have had no issues with any that I have replaced wtih the exception of the last one that after 14 months did leak. Radiator was replaced under lifetime warranty. (Labor is not included. 4 hours from start to finish.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
