Re: ‘87 Chevy V20 - “Heavy Duty Stock” My Daily Build

Last couple weeks, the truck was down due to the Cold Case radiator I had installed a back in November. Not to dog them, but the core had developed a leak up near the water inlet - that is because the design created a “hot spot”.

Never the less, the local radiator I normally use came to the rescue!!! They fabbed up a sweet, custom aluminum radiator to replace the aftermarket one. Typically, I would’ve had the original brass one rebuilt, but the tanks were super thin and starting to get weak so that’s what let me to run aluminum.

All great now!!! Holding all its coolant, heating the cab nicely and providing a good engine temp! In the process of waiting, I did swap in a stock-style clutch fan combo to replace the fixed blade flex fan that was on the truck when I bought it. Warms a bit quicker now and the fuel injection likes the more consistent temp!
I can grab the part #s for this setup in a bit for you guys.
