I actually browsed through your posts before making that last one. From what I gather, it's questionable origin of manufacture and the core size was your reason for skipping over the Liland, although you did list it as an option in your first post in this thread
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
The all aluminum rad on rock auto isn’t always there when I ordered my rad I couldn’t get it so they must sell out quick
You would think that for what you're paying for the radiator that they could throw in a cap too... Oh well, looks like it'll take a factory cap, so I'll pick up a fresh new one in town tomorrow afternoon.

Looks nice!
Be sure to report on the installation. I had to modify my fan shroud.
I plan on trying to make a video for YouTube on it, sort of a review and installation.
I'm running Intrepid fans, so I'm hoping they fit just as well as they do on the stock radiator lol. I still have an upper fan shroud on the setup, or at least the remains of one. I trimmed it down when I installed the Intrepid fans. No longer needed it for cooling, but I wanted to keep it there for some place for the AC lines to rest on. It still sort of helps holds the top of the radiator too, but I also have some aluminum brackets that I fabbed up that do most of the stabilizing of the radiator.
I don't have any photos at the moment of them, but I'll be sure to get some when I install the new radiator. I might end up fabbing up a new mounting system, we'll see
I was only using the trimmed up upper shroud at first, but yeah I noticed as well that there seemed to be a little more movement than I wanted. So I just bent up a few pieces of aluminum and used them along with the plastic shroud. The brackets are hidden under the shroud. But I'll be sure to get some photos and video of them and how they're installed.
