Re: LT5 Cooling and Radiators
I am looking to switch out my stock radiator as preventive maintenance and replace it with a champion 3 core all aluminum unit. I dont see the reason to spend 600 and up for a radiator when champion offers there 3 core at 225.00. A little trimming is required for the radiator to fit since it is squared off and it then slides in. I will also be replacing my thermostat with a stant and will drill 3 little 1/8 inch holes in it as suggested to me by Jerry Downey. I live in a very hot climate most of the year and cooling is a very serious concern. I have a chip to turn fans on but I also have manual overrides to both fans so I just always keep them on. My car seldom goes over 205 degrees in the day time and I usually never run the ac. I just turn it on for about 5 minutes and turn it off.
Nothing wrong with my ac since it is all new and converted to r134 but I would rather hear my car and make sure all is well with it. I think with a new 3 core aluminum unit, stant thermostat and my manual fans this car will do alright down here in miami. It is already mid nineties and very humid so most cars start to struggle down here at this time.
