AlloyWorks Radiator Review & Install

[@Bryan916]

If you noticed the Radiator was a little on the curved side then check out this video link kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWq4e6KrlLybeq8

Great video man 👍 I installed one of these in my 04 Silverado. Along with a factory electric fan conversion. Cooling is a bit better than stock but the cooling capacity is greater. The system holds more coolant than stock. Definitely a lot stronger and more durable than a stock plastic radiator. Plus it’s not that expensive for what you’re getting. I think I spent between $200-$250 for mine. Something like that. It took me about half a day, and a few beers , to change out the radiator and do the electric fan conversion. Including pinning the computer for The e fan harness.

What I want to know is, how well these radiators last. I'm looking to buy one for a 78 Ranchero. I want to make sure it will last.

I would have taken that oversized washer to the bench grinder. I just bought one, so we’ll see how she fits. (2009 Pathfinder).

[@markmelendez1029]

Installed one in my C10. I took another gentleman advice and utilized 2 relays Instead of the one sent. My fans don't seem to kick off. Not sure what temp thermostat to use

[@Leekautorepair]

Ima keep them in mind next time I need one

[@zachprobst4218]

So since it’s been awhile. How is it holding up. Still cooling good? And what t stat did you use with this set up. I’m about to install it and wondering if I’m gonna be replacing it in a few months.😊

[@Bryan916]

I'm still running it in my Tahoe, It really is a good Radiator. I'm using a OE thermostat.

[@hotbassist182]

Glad I found this video, how is it running now a year later? Any problems over the last year?

[@Bryan916]

Not one problem, and it has been used daily from the day I installed it last year. The radiator is legit

[@BrendaKlahn]

I am wondering about direct fitting, I read some reviews where the hose neck was smaller than oem, the mounting posts was off, and mounting bracket s was not same, and also the transmission line fittings are different threads! Has any one else had these issues?

[@toddhenderson7338]

What did you do with the two extra ports on the left side of the radiator? I believe they are for the oil cooler if one was present. Did you cap them off, or just leave them open and unlplugged? Great video, thanks!

[@Bryan916]

leave it open doesn't matter if you're not using it!

[@nand0cuzz]

Is it bent?

[@Bryan916]

It does look a little on the curved side, Alloyworks saw the video and is sending me a replacement although there are no leaks and the radiator is working flawlessly.

[@rayvarnson8976]

Could have done a coolant flush at the time.

[@Bryan916]

No need I swapped out my water pump like two weeks before making this video

[@flipcoin6301]

Long term, any leaks?

[@Bryan916]

None, Its a solid Radiator!

[@PhillyDee215]

👨‍🔧I Never understood why the manufacturers used so much plastic

[@Bryan916]

No kidding!

[@IDABAYAREA650I]

*Simple, Cheaper, More Profit for them*

[@davidgomez3737]

You wouldnt want one of these if they made aluminum radiator from factory they know there is suply and demand and like dude on top of my comment said plastic is cheaper for them to mass produce it

[@chadgardee1496]

What’s up Bryan

[@Bryan916]

Chad what's up my Guy!

[@isaiahwinslow5140]

It's bent as fuck

[@mkarow]

I bought one and failed in 5000 miles of freeway driving. I found people that had the same issue I did. The tubes fail where they meet the tank on the passenger side. Don't buy this!
