 | It's been a good run... Cooling issues Well.. I had a good run of not having problems with my GN.. A few months now.. Knock on wood.. Anyway.. I went to check my fluids today, and I'm PRETTY sure my radiator has a hole in it somewhere.. I've got some pics.. Anyway anyone know any good "budget" aluminum radiators that work well? I was considering this one: Aluminum Radiator, Cooling System, AluminumRadiator | SpecialAdditions.com Buick Grand National Parts & Apparel Anyone ever put it in? |

| Yep, a lot of us have that radiator in our cars. Works wonders: http://www.turbobuicks.com/articles/FBody_Radiator/

Hey does anyone know if there is any place online to get those aeroquip fittings and hoses? There's a distributor nearby but I'd have to find the time to get there! Thanks again! I can't wait to install my new stuff! | |

| Ok so I finally got all my stuff that I needed in, and I have come to the realization that I need an external transmission cooler too? Is this right? Anyone got any idea of the part number I'd need and such for this? Thanks! |

| You can take the oil cooler adapter off and just screw the oil filter back on and get rid of it if you like.I have an f body rad and pulled it off and dont see any difference in oil pressure or engine temps.My temp are 160-173 and with the a/c on in traffic 178,and the oil pressure is 18 #s at idle and up to 60 #s when hot.

I may end up doing this. I know there are also other fittings I could buy (and hoses) that would run to the replacement radiator.. Anyone know the sizes I need for this? I'd hate to have the car 90% pieced back togehter to find I have something wrong! | |
