Re: radiator
They seem to pop up on rock auto occasionally so you can keep checking there every so often.
Is yours leaking? I have had excellent results using cooling system flush tools that you hook up to a garden hose and air compressor. They clean out radiators, blocks, and heater cores by means of pulses of high pressure water. Like a water hammer basically. If your rad isn't leaking I would get one of those off of amazon and revive your current rad. Or I would get a used rad from a wrecker and do the same.

Spectra premium CU813. It looks like they’re available again. Typically plastic tanks and not as wide, but it’s worked great for me.

Re: radiator
Where did you see the Spectra rads available, Chris? I just checked rock auto and they don't have any rads at all.
Re: radiator
I googled the Spectra part #- EVERYBODY said they were out of stock...
if it aint there, there's a good chance it won't break!

Re: radiator
I remember awhile back about a few guys using radiators from a
90's Honda civic. I'd assume you would need to use a different fan though.

Sorry about that stolib,
The last one I got was through a local auto parts (rebranded), but Spectra. It looks like O’Reilly AP maybe has some.

I recently installed that MHT 433813 from O'Reilly and was happy with it. It has welded aluminum tanks. I used the 20% off offer and got free shipping too. That was in January, todays offers may vary.
