    Merry Christmas everyone! Looks like I get a new radiator. Do most folks go electric fan when they replace?

    Looks like you need a new radiator; you probably can have that nipple re-soldered, but, if reliablilty is important I wud replace it. Also, replace all coolant and rubber hoses, brake and vaccum

    I just bought a factory replacement radiator from Advance. With their 30% off and free shipping, I was out the door for around $105. Got to use the TRT30 for the 30% off code on their online orders over $50. - Matt
