...his are for manual transmission cars only....looks like there's no provision for the automatic transmission oil "cooler," since he's saying "...use their separate, external cooler if you have an automatic."

they make some of the best radiators on the market.

Harrison has that reputation for American-made Detroit vehicles...or, they "used" to.

the radiators rock & will increase cooling capacity, but why do you need it?unless you are boosting you won't be runnig any hotter...so no point in spending double on the radiator.Then again they sure do look purdy..if you are going for show and ur rad leaks then i could see the logic in buying one.

since im a volunteer officer with my local fire company I respond directly to the scenes of emergencies red lights and siren the car can sit for a few hours idling the engine on scene if its a long enough call (vehicle rescues, structure fires, electrical fires/wires, etc.)since ive recently upgraded to an optima battery ive been turning off the car if i have to sit on scene since my LED warning lights wont drain the battery the only problem with that right now is my amber led traffic dirrection control assembly in the rear hatch is wired to the cig plug in the center console which turns off when the ignitions off...if i can find a driveway or someplace safe to pull off and out of roadway i do so and turn off the carI feel it best to keep the car running at all times at night for the rear tailight and headlight illumination.sometimes i would rather sit in the car and let the traffic dirrection control assembly do its work, like if its bad weatheralso sometimes I prefer sitting in the car for AC/heatother than looking nice for car shows and replacement i see no other reason to replace it.

Wow for $240 I wish bought an upgraded radiator instead of the CAI. I now think my CAI (cost $277) was a mistake and want to remove it. The upgraded rad is neat idea but as long as your temp guage isn't telling you the cars running hot when it's sitting there for all that time with the flashing lights on, then is it really necssary?

I'm not seeing much point in replacing the radiator unless it's damaged. 2 hours at 80+ mph in 100F doesn't overheat, neither does a few hours in gridlock...
