So I started heading down the highway this morning and all of a sudden my coolant gauge spiked. Pulled right over and looked underneath and it was squirting coolant out the bottom. Got it towed back home, threw it on a lift and pressure tested the system. There was a steady stream coming from the bottom right of the radiator itself, and coolant was shooting out of the heater core outlet, with the passenger floor inside soaking. Radiator is aftermarket, hoses look new too (both from PO), and no idea about the core, but the dash doesn’t look like it’s ever been off so I’m assuming original.
I managed to get the entire dash off without a problem, and I’m about to pull the radiator and heater core, but before I do, I’d like to pick up a replacement. Wondering what people recommend and where I can pick it up from? I wasn’t budgeting for a new cooling system, so while I’d like to try to keep it cheep, I don’t want to have to go through this again next year. Thanks everyone!
