It was near post 4983 where you put in the new radiator. It looked like you had some improvised rubber mounts. Was just curious if it was a true direct fit radiator, and how it is holding up?

Thanks, that helps jug the memory, wish I had some good news for you and I know you asked about the mounts, but check this out first So this $273 Northern aluminum radiator I bought on Amazon exactly 1 year ago just made it one year and sprung a leak. So a leak after 10,000 miles, lame

Thanks for the info. So I assume the el cheapo "Radcool" radiator with the plastic end tanks is still holding up?

Wow that is ridiculous. I need a new radiator and I seriously don't know where to turn. And I just noticed your Napa box has the same "161" in the part number as your Radcool. So it wouldn't surprise me if they're the exact same thing.

this is why I document things in this thread to help people out and to help me remember this roller coaster I am on, cause sometimes I go man how long ago did I but this part, was it 5 years ago, or 4... and then I go wait what? I just bought it less than a year ago
