Well maybe this is somewhat out of place but what else is new.
I just replaced my radiator on a ford escort. (May I add this radiator was clean no debris whatsoever) 28.00 ebay lifetime warranty yadayada. There was nothing wrong with the old one but engine ran very warm at times. At 65mph this car would eventually reach 240 with fan running constantly. After this radiator was replaced the engine now runs at 160 fan Off at 65mph.
With stock corvette radiators availe for our cars at 120$ I think its safe to say that its a pretty good investment to do a fresh radiator swap and watch the temp drop. =D>
