If time and/or money is tight you might look into having your existing CAC repaired by a radiator shop. Quote "Mebbe I'm too ugly and stupid to give up!"

justincase Posted February 27, 2011 Author Share Posted February 27, 2011 rhasler, I took my cac to a local shop and when they pressurized it and dipped it in a tank the leak was 1/2 way up one side about 12 inches long. They said they couldn't fix it. Not sure what is involved so had to take their word for it. Their price was about $1050 for replacement and I have seen them as low as $500 online. I will look into duralite as well. Thanks Justin Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/18129-air-cooler/#findComment-73608 Share on other sites More sharing options...
