Current All Aluminum Radiator Options?
#41
Here i what I replaced mine with in 2015. Not sure who I bought it from but looks the same as the one linked below. 1 1/4" thick core. Same size Blazers and S10s use to come with before dropping to 1 inch.
It came with adapters for the trans cooler lines.

I considered that one too. I really wanted to maximize my cooling so I went the more expensive route of getting the 2" deep one but then had to have it modified. That is interesting to know that the Blazers used to come with 1.25" deep cores. How has this one been working for you? Did you have any special need for more cooling? How was the installation?
Seems to work but i don’t drive it much, but the last time I ran it in hot weather it topped at 209. Might try tomorrow as it going to be in low 90s and humid.

Here is the full write-up I did on my 2" radiator: https://blazerforum.com/forum/2nd-ge...adiator-99841/

99 blazer. No mods needed as the platform was designed for a 1.25 rad. You use to be able to get them from the dealership.
The first two I ordered were plastic tanks rads but they came with a 1" core, so I ended up with the all Al one. Pretty sure it was a silla 1826AA,

Reviving this old thread.
After having a side tank split open in my 04 4x4 auto yesterday, I ordered a Liland all aluminum rad off RockAuto.
Will report back with photos and my thoughts on it after installation

I think I looked at the Leland ones but I can't remember why I decided against it for my situation. I'm pretty sure I must have included that in my wtite up on my aluminum radiator install.

Yes, this is a good thread to maintain. It'll hopefully be a good refetence for people.

I went with it just because I was on Rock Auto looking to order a radiator, and it was the only all aluminum one they had lol. The stock radiator along with my Intrepid fans does a great job at keeping the 4.3 cool and the AC blowing cold in the Blazer even on the hottest of Florida summer days, but if I'm replacing something like the radiator and have the option to step up and improve it, I'm going to take that route
