How much does it really matter if the flow goes vertical or horizontal. is there anything between radiators that truley seperates and makes one worth the extra money vs the cheapo? Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Jul 6, 2010, 3:17 PM Post #2 of 4 (2150 views) Re: radiators Sign In There is no such thing as an "all aluminum" radiator. 95% of all radiators made now are aluminum cores and plastic tanks. You rarely have any other option. If you did, it would likely be a brass alloy. There is some quality difference between brands but a lot of that goes to the multi-fit applications, thickness of the core and low quality plastics. As far as vertical flow or horizontal flow, that is determined by the application, again, not your option. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

But for the record there are all aluminum radiators out there , minus the stainless cap and brass drain plug. I just installed a lakewood model on a friends airboat and have installed several in "RODS". I know , I know , what does this have to do with the price of banana's ? Sorry, i'll go back to sleep .

I think he's referring to OE replacement type stuff though. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
