Default Need a radiator

Well, my temp has been running at 235 after 20 minutes of driving with no AC, and with temps in Fl now in the 90s and being that I work in a metal barn for 10hrs a day, there is no way in hell I'm subjecting myself to no AC in the Blazer. The thermostat is good, water pump checked out a-ok, hoses look good, cleaned out the radiator and AC condensor with engine degreaser and a hose, and there was no drop in the compression test. So unless I'm out of ideas and am thinking my radiator must be gummed up.

With that being said, I was wondering if this is the right one for my application? Don't want to buy it and then turns out I order the wrong one. Amazon.com has the cheapest price, and says it fits, but they've been wrong before.

I don't know if that is the correct one, but I will tell you that it isn't always cheaper on the internet. We have a place here in Cullman, AL that just deals in radiators and I replaced mine a couple of years ago (jug was cracked) and I think only only paid $150 with a lifetime warranty. Seems to still be working great. You can probably research the part # through NAPA if it is a DELCO part.

Thanks for the tip. The local Napa actually has one for $135 that has a lifetime warranty. I think the guy said it was Spectra or something? Anyone know if thats a decent brand? If its crap then I'd rather pay the extra for the quality of ACDelco and only have to do it once.

I've never owned a spectre radiator but I have bought some of their other products and they are decent.

I have bought 3 all Aluminum radiators off of Ebay now and have not had any problem with them, They cost $121.20 and FREE Shipping, good deal to me and NO PLASTIC tanks. Also they come with a little ground wire to ground them, Make sure you do this. Lifetime WARRANTY . Check them out. Hope this Helps T.J. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...fvi%3D1&_rdc=1

After I posted this I see you have a 2002 not sure if this will work for you or not ? I guess you could call or E-mail them? update will work from 1996 to 2005 you are covered. Also I see the Price has went up. I guess supply and demand. $151.00.
Now I see the Price is back to $121.20 .Keep and Eye out for the best Price?
