CU162 Radiator for 70-88 Chevy Blazer Camaro Caprice El Camino Impala Malibu Monte Carlo Nova CKGP Series & 72-87 GMC Caballero Jimmy & 75-87 Buick Regal Century Skylark, 3 Row Cores

Right out of the box it seems durable and sturdy. Welds look decent. For the price, its a very nice unit.Installation was into a 1979 C20 with a 350 automatic trans. I have an aftermarket trans cooler, so I left the plugs supplied in.Installation of the radiator went fine. However, it isn't a drop in and go. One thing you will need in addition to this is a thread spout for your overflow reservoir. All that is there is a threaded hole... which is idiotic. I've never seen a radiator need a 1 inch tube added to it for over flow. I think that is a sure sign of laziness in the build and engineering of this radiator. And annoying. I thought my truck would be up and going after today, but now I have to source this crap. Frustrated to say the least.Next thing and I kind of suspected this would happen, but my shroud didn't fit. Thicker radiator and not factory, I am not overly surprised it didn't. But, nothing some zipties, sawsall and some aluminum scrap metal couldn't fix.I'm writing this review righr after the install and still need to find this spout. Curses on whoever designed that aspect of it. So idk if it is good under pressure and whatnot. Will see what Florida can do to it, but I hope this cures my overheating issues.P.S. its to shiny. Makes the rest of my rig look even worse.

Perfect fit fits as nicest Factory with no leaks no problems great

I haven't used it yet. It just came. Looks very nice.

Good price for the money but first time I tried it car ran hot in less than 3miles from my house. Next day I changed the radiator cap and everything was fine. Requested and new one exchanged the caps and now everything is fine. Make sure you watch your temperature gauge to not run you car hot because mines did. Brand new motor thank God didn't blow a head gasket. Do not go on a long test drive!

good
