fluidyne auto 97-04 radiator cheaper than $405 out the door?
Is there anywhere i can get a fluidyne or similar quality radiator for an auto transmission 2000 mustang GT for less than $405 shipped/OTD ??? anyone?
i had a horrible experience with pwr. first it took them 3 months to "build" my radiator. second, the thing cost 370$+ shipping so no real savings there. third the thing was nothing near oem specs, it didnt use the stock reservoir and had extra fittings for god knows what. dont get a pwr, go fluidyne, or go oem. honestly 400$ or so for a radiator isnt worth it unless you got some serious mods.
Wait, you're talking just a straight radiator right??
I'll see if I can find the info, but I think the Napa around here has "OEM-like" replacements w/ a major difference:
It's got metal end tanks, not the plastic ones, but it is also -less a Tranny cooler.. I mentioned in a thread the other day that I was able to get a generic 18k GVW cooler for $40, and it looks like nearly the same thing as the $150 Morosso one.. I'll see about taking some pictures when I'm done..

interesting, i want to replace mine but i dont want to drop another 400$ on a disaster. i think the pwr models have built in reservoirs cause they have huge *** tanks on the side, didnt even include a cap though.
the original radiator in my car was damaged in a wreck and has to be replaced anyway, and my car will be running ~450 hp ~500+ tq @ crank and i figured it wouldn't hurt to go with a good radiator
Oh, understandably so... If I'm not mistaken, the radiators that are at Napa near me are a little bigger...
I think a lot of it comes down to "Name brand.." Like I had mentioned before, the Generic Tranny cooler I got from them is almost identical to the Morosso one that costs nearly 4x the amount.. It's just not a name brand.. Who cares?? It works..
