Radiator

04 HEMI 04 · #1 11-03-2008, 07:39 PM

Hello Everyone,

I am writing this up to tell you that a friend of mine found out the my radiator is no good. I found out why my truck have leaking too much anti-coolant and I don't know what to do about the radiator. Should I replace it or buy an aftermarket radiator for hemi? Should I replace the radiator along with 180 thermostat?

It is very important that I need your help immediately because I am going on a trip from CT to Florida in the next three days with a boat. I need to get the radiator fixed or else it will overheat. Thanks.

Any advices or help would be greatly appreciated.

I would do a OEM replacement.

New radiator and use a 195 thermostat.

What is anti-coolant? Does it keep it from cooling?

I think the stock radiator fluid is the red stuff. If it's red in yours that's what i would put back in it.

go to an autozone, pep boys, murrays, most any of them should have a radiator for you. 190 degree thermostat, 195 degree thermostat, whatever, they'll both work fine. refill with whatever color coolant comes out of it like jeff said. make sure you use deionized water when you mix the coolant 50/50 with water when filling, or you'll start building up gunk inside.

not to be an ass, but its called anti-freeze, or coolant, not both
