Overheating Cobra
 
Anyone replaced their radiator yet and which brand did you go with. Mine has always run hotter than normal but this summer has pretty much done in the original radiator.
Any suggestions?

Had to go with an aluminum radiator when I
added the blower. Went from 200-210 to 165 in
traffic with the ac going. Their pricey but
worth the expence. Stay away from BeCool. Im
on my second one and its leaking as did the
first one. Go with a Griffin FMS or Steeda.

Man I was wondering if anyone was ever going to reply. Thanks that was what I wanted to know.

May sound stupid, but...Have you tried flushing your system and adding Water Wetter? If you live in a place where you won't see freezing temps, you can run more like a 70-30, 30 being anti-freeze, and add a bottle of water wetter. It lowered my temps by about 15 degrees. But, if it's a aluminum rad you want, don't overlook Fluidyne. I've had no problems with mine.

Yeah, I tried flushing it and it had no affect at all. Thanks for the suggestion though. I knew the Fluidyne units were good but I was just curious about the Steeda ones since they were a little cheaper.
