BAD DOG Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 If you don't mind me being nosey, can I ask what you paid for that core? I had mine recored and the bottom tank repaired from a place in Grand Rapids Mich. I put a 5 row core in mine. It was probably the most expensive part in my whole project.

2stacksuperdog Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 We had to do that too a while back. Broke a couple bolts off in the tank and machine shop found out they where metric. Thats the only thing i dont like about these trucks, when mack built them they were half metric, half customery. 1 Quote Matt Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31842-new-rad-for-the-rw/#findComment-192913 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mack mhe9 Posted July 6, 2013 Author Share Posted July 6, 2013 No problem 2070.00 for the core. Did one about 15 years ago it was 800.00. Yes got to use penetrating oil a couple days before and heat on the bolts.

2stacksuperdog Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 $2000.00?????? When we did ours it was around $800. We got ours from General Radiator out of Illinois i think and that was only 3 years ago 1 Quote Matt Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31842-new-rad-for-the-rw/#findComment-193035 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAD DOG Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Weller Radiators in Grand Rapids Michigan recorded mine with a 5 row core and repaired the bottom tank and I had to pay the customs charges plus the shop in Windsor that took it up there for me and the total cost was only $2600.00 witch I felt was expensive at the time, I guess it wasn't really too bad then.

BAD DOG Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I did price from General Rad and Detroit Radiator too but they quoted me in the $800 to $1500 for just a 4 row core and I really wanted a 5 row core that's what I had before.
