22re Alum. radiator

I just got my new radiator off ebay (149) it is all alum., it kinda of looks like it was made from burmese soda cans but well see how it works (got a new rad. and LCE inline temp sender) i'll have some install pics soon.

I'm running that rad and so far I like it. It has two 9in elec. cooling fans and a custom shroud. I've been doing some moderate wheeling on some 100 degree plus days and have been pretty happy with it's preformance.

Yea I dont know if I would trust a "Burmese soda can" with my engine either! Radiators are cheap...engines aint. Is it really a one row rad? or two?

yea i keep a real close eye on the temp gauge (so far so good) i even have the old rad. in the bed just in case. its a one row but the truck is running a lil cooler than the old one (the old one was caked in mud) im trying to source a nice 2 row all alum one in the $299-$350 range (lce wants $650 for theirs hahaha)
