Quick question on radiators....

[Bocheetus]

Im looking at buying a radiator from Spectra Premium For my K5. My stock one is leaking under pressure... i believe they're running 500-600$, i believe. Anyone had any experience with that company? Cuz they sell all the cooling parts, and AC/Heating parts too.
Thanks for the input.

500 is WAY too much for that radiator.

Either just get a used replacement from pick n pull or even a reman one is cheaper than that. You could even get a nice alum one for around 2-300 from summit

i had a summit rad in my 510 and i loved it.


here is a stock replacement

I would rather spend a couple more bucks and grab and all alum one but that is just me
