New Radiator

[Chook]

Well I have been a bit nervous lately seeing coolant residue around the cap that I would normally put down to a leaky cap, but noticing all the radiator failures lately decided to pull the pin & go to a full aluminum one for peace of mind. I contacted Ron Davis Racing & they have one in stock for a H3 Automatic at $940 but add the shipping to Australia (& possibility of damage in shipping) I decided to try look around for a local solution. I asked around my Motorsport friends and they recommended Paul Weel Racing. They have a motorsport technical factory around 50 miles south of where I live & they manufacture parts for all forms of racing (F1, NASCAR, V8 Supercar, DTM, WRC, DAKAR, etc.) and they also do factory replacement parts including H3 Radiator http://www.pwr.com.au/portfolio/hummer-car-radiators (Picture below - Not cheap though Pricing for the radiator is $1186 plus gst, including the intank auto trans cooler part number PWR5976-3 (the -3 is for auto) with the manual $89 cheaper) but with these guys making parts for the like of Red Bull Racing etc. I figured it was worth it. With their use in NASCAR/INDY/GRANDAM I see they also make these available in the USA out of North Carolina. Details below: PWR USA Inc

Ok they said my PWR Radiator is on the production line now, should be ready next week. Are these a DIY fit or should I book it into a garage to fit it ??

Easy to replace. Took 1.5 hours today though we had the use of a lift.

PWR Radiator arrived this week You have to take the side mounts off the OEM radiator & I had to get 2 more bolts (M8 1.25 x 20mm) as the bottom uses the bolt mount rather than the lug mount

Here are some shots fitting (note manual says to remove fan but you can remove replace without taking the fan out as the bottom fan shroud rotates to the top)

Nice! Definitely want to see how the rest of the install goes and if everything fits right.

Just posted the fitted pictures above. Install went well, only inconvenience was the condenser to radiator bolts because of the mods/accessories I had fitted.

Wow, very nice!

Wow, very nice!

Yep very happy with this........... Should give much better performance given the OEM radiator has a 26mm core whereas the PWR has a 42mm core & a much better dimpled plate design.

Pricing in Australia for the radiator is $1186 plus gst, including the intank auto trans cooler part number PWR5976-3 (the -3 is for auto) with the manual $89 cheaper) but with these guys making parts for the like of Red Bull Racing F1 NASCAR/INDY/GRANDAM etc. I figured it was worth it.

1,186.00 AUD	=	1,053.99 USD
Australian Dollar	↔	US Dollar
1 AUD = 0.888689 USD	1 USD = 1.12525 AUD

Best thing is these guys a literally down the road from me. If I wasn't overseas, I'd be there to check it out. I know what I'm doing as soon as I get back home.
