Another one bites the dust.....
At 67,000 miles my 06's Radiator cracked...the hairline crack was about 5" long and along the front and on the top tank..About mid-way between the crimped flange to the core and the top of the tank...Nothing had rubbed on it or had it been hit, it just friggin cracked..it actually was hidden by the foam insulation strip that is wedged in between the top tank and the frame support..I got a
Silla (#9589A)..Read several reviews and nothing lately said anything bad about them..Anyway..it was a PERFECT FIT in every little stinking way..not one thing was out of place or needed some modifying for proper fitment..it was PERFECT!!!! and I believe IMO, it actually looked better than the Delco original...
Just to be safe, I flushed it out in both directions and pressure tested the Transmission oil cooler for any leaks...Perfect!...I can only hope it holds up..it has a life time warranty, soooooo...we'll see..
BTW..If you ever use a Silla, make sure you tighten the cooler line fittings, as they are just snugged on...I read one review that the complaint was the line fitting leaked after a while...I wonder why?:huh:... and they do come with the new little spring clips that holds the lines in.
That is all..
