Says it will bolt right in, and hook right up. Seems reasonable to me.

yea just wanted to make sure...I have heard it bolts right in before LOL

I think my old one, which is approaching 7 years old is gonna crack. I have a leak at the lower hose and the hose is good and tight. It is coming out of the end of the hose...so I though yea I should probably get another

Better to change it when it is convenient for YOU, than to have to change it on the side of the road, because it blew up.

I looked for the info on the "Row: 4 Row Core" and found nothing. No thickness of the core listed or how they are configured or the size of each of them. Some of the so called "4 core" rads cool LESS than the oe rad. Stay away from the junk on ebay unless you know exactly what you are buying.Below shows the surface area of two different rads, Witch cools better?


if you don't know the one on the left because it has more surface area.

Depends on the surface area of each row.
