New radiator SILLA1520A

**Dr_Zero** · 02-12-2009, 11:37 AM

Ok I took a chance and ordered the radiator off Ebay I was looking at

The box came in yesterday and inside was one of these a "SILLA1520A"

"SILLA OE REPLACEMENT RADIATOR -- Engineered And Manufactured Under The Highest Quality Standards, Effectively Boosts Engine Functions, Distinguished For Outstanding, Reliable And Efficient Performance, With Silla's Limited Lifetime Warranty"

It looks good the overall fit and finish and its a two row vs the single that is in there now so that should help some on these hot Florida days.

The Vendor was Radiator Classic and the price was only $79 shipping was like $30 so still 80 less than some places for a single row. Paid for the item about 7:30am last Friday and it was at the Fedex by 10am Friday and to my door yesterday afternoon.

So to say I am pleased would be an understatement, locally there is no where to get a radiator for even close to that price I paid more to get the old one rodded out than for the whole new one!

The other parts will be in a few days and the Yukon will be getting besides a new radiator, new water pump, plugs, wires, rotor, cap, intake manifold gaskets with the new style bolts so she should be good to go for another 100,000 miles

If anyone is interested in the other parts let me know and I will post the list and prices and where I found them.

I tell you I was really skeptical when I ordered it but it was just like any other radiator in fact my mechanic liked it so much he asked me if they had one to fit is Cady and wound up ordering one LOL

Also this is a 2 row vs the single that some sell they are the same width just a bit deeper and went in without any mods or anything.

Has an extra outlet under the cap side that is kinda cool you can hook up a hose to flush out the system not the intention I dont think but a neat trick.
