O. K., ya got my attention. [sm=insomnia.gif]
I've been looking at Dewitts, and they have the rad/fan/contorls as a package.
You say Griffin has rads? Do they have complete systems? I'm going to drop my old fan, and go dual electric.

Yes, C3, SHOCKS were the topic. But when I see another member throwing a beating on his engine, I have to say something. I don't want this guy to beat his motor anymore than I want a beating on mine. NO ONE needs premature wear on their engine.
AND YES, I have shocks on all my vehicles, and they work very well when one has springs LOL.

Thanks for; #1: the back-upin helping one of our fellow members, and #2: for jumping in my case for being "off-topic." LOL And I mean that in a good and friendly way.

Yes - Griffin has rads. You can find some on Fleabay. I got a universal fit from South West Speed, $160.00 plus $20.00 for shipping.

You had my attention with the SHOCKS as I am in the market for some new shocks and tires, but the cooling thing is something that I have had to learn about the hard way. I figgered I might save you some time, money and frustration.

Hey Texas, If ya go back and read the other posts, It was me that went "off Topic".
But rads and cooling was mentioned, so I went for it.

DV8, when ya "copy" from photobucket, next click on the scenery icon on the far right ( add image ). A window will open in the upper left. Delete the "http//", and paste your "bucket" copy, and then click "OK". Hope this helps with your pic prob.
Thanks a bunch for the info on the rads.
