Amazon Radiators

I have an Alloy Works radiator in a 98 jeep wrangler with the 4.0l. I have had it for a couple of years with no issues.
 
gotta one in my samurai, no complaints. my DD needs a radiator too but a replacement Denso one is cheaper so im going with that
 
2 different chicomazon brands in 2 different vehicles for 5 years. no complains.

Dad did have one in his XJ let go but he had a 2(?) year waranty and they covered it. That one may have come from ebay though.
 
I have one in my big Jeep TJ and my Nissan Patrol. The one in the Patrol is a TJ v8 swap rad. It just has the ports on opposite sides.

The first one in my TJ did not enjoy when I bent a fanblade and it spun a perfect circle in the tubes. So I bought another to replace it.

Other than that, no complaints. I would rather have one of those than a crimped plastic/aluminum radiator.
 
I have bought a few, I prefer the all aluminum ones so I can maybe at least fix them, but I have not needed to as of yet.
Mine were super chinses off eBay as well.
 
Had good luck with the china radiators off ebay for the bike. Last one I bought had a fair amount of aluminum chips/dust in it. Flush em out first
 
close to 190k on the scamazon aluminum radiator in my 97 dodge 12 valve. works great.

I have a el cheapo spectra plastic/aluminum in my 01 two four valve. Towing in summer, it can run a bit warm.

I see the scamazon all aluminum ones in 3 and 4 core variety. What are chancss a 4 core one would be able to reject more BTUs than the oem plastic/aluminum rad?

The spectra was lighter than the oem one, so obviously not as good.

My buddy building a 65 stang' did a ton of research recently. Consensus is the Chinese stuff is now typically as good or better than a lot of more common brands, and that goes for most replacement auto parts at this point. Sad

I'll support good quality US made products everywhere I can.
I also can't buy good quality parts most of the time, let alone US made, because they no longer exist.
Good example is Ruff Stuff. Been waiting since March for simple parts, parts I could buy for half the price on Amazon. Trying to support a US business. I, the consumer gets screwed when money is paid and parts don't show up.

My son bought a “OEM” rad for his Holden/GTO and came home to the plastic tanks having split WHILE PARKED. Autozone replaced under warranty.

China isn't taking it, US corporations are willing sending **** over there to be made to increase their profits lines and Chinese steel their design. The corporations that chose to move manufacturing out of the US are killing themselves.
 
If I order a performance all aluminum rad from summit or wherever its $700, and from china.

If I order a performance all aluminum rad from flebay it is $280 , and basically from the same factory in china.

I really dont have over $1000 to 1500 for a cold case or made in USA rad. I just do not have the money for that. Blame whatever you want, but for many the economic reality is people simply cant afford it.

I wonder if you can cram something that's just simply bigger in there with a not too bad amount of fabrication.

Spend an hour on Rockauto looking at dimensions?

You got A/C in that truck? If not throw a condenser on and run bypass oil filtration through it. That'll suck a lot of heat out of the overall system for sure.
