sniperi311 Posted June 18, 2006 Report Posted June 18, 2006 im in need of a new radiator for my 93 old cutlass supreme, i dont have the money to buy a new one, everywhere wants over 200 dollars, ive tried jb weld, and some stuff you put in your radiator, both worked for about a week each, i was looking on ebay and theres none for my car, i was wondering if i could buy one from like a corsica of a beretta, if anyone knows that i can do that or not, just need a regular radiator with the transmission cooler, and i really dont trust jy's for parts like this, had too many bad parts just break on me any help would be appreciated, thanx Quote
Intlcutlass Posted June 19, 2006 Report Posted June 19, 2006 Go to an Autozone, or something along those lines... Usually, they have a lifetime warranty. Yes your looking at $200, but thems the breaks... Other than that the bone yard would be the way to go.... They also offer some type of warranty... usually 30-90 days. You would likely looking at $50 from a j/y... Quote
94Ragtop Posted June 19, 2006 Report Posted June 19, 2006 I've got a good radiator out of a 1996 3100V6 Lumina if it will fit. If so make an offer and check the shipping from CT. 06071. Mike Quote
SigEpCutlass Posted June 19, 2006 Report Posted June 19, 2006 Do you have a Parts Yard near you? I'd go there if you can't afford a new one. Quote
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted June 19, 2006 Report Posted June 19, 2006 I don't see anything wrong with getting one from the wreckers. Just make sure it looks good an is not from a car that was hit from the front. Make sure they have some sort of warrantee on it so if it leaks you can take it back. Quote
95oldsVan Posted June 21, 2006 Report Posted June 21, 2006 If its just the tanks or one of the tanks leaking,you may be able to have a rad shop repair it...or if its inside the fins somewhere they may be able to fix...I had a leaking radiator that needed a new tank on one side.Cost me 65 bucks to have it repaired and bad tank replaced and the entire rad cleaned,pressure tested and etc.Been going fine for 3 years now. Check around for rad repair shops near you,they may be able to save you a bundle. Quote
Crazy K Posted June 21, 2006 Report Posted June 21, 2006 a 93 CS radiator will not be the same as a 96 lum early W's 88-93 CS, GP, regal, and 90-94 Lumina have the same radiator later W's, 94-96 GP, 94+ CS, 94+ regal, and 95-99 M carlo, and 95+Lumina have the same they are each retained differently, and the later ones have hte fans bolt to the radiator, and not the plastic radiator 'hold down'.

sniperi311 Posted June 22, 2006 Author Report Posted June 22, 2006 its the side tank thats leaking, ill see if i cant get that fixed, sounds like a decent idea, i would go to a jy but i just dont trust the ones by me also, there not always the best cars, and they offer no warranty, thanx for the help Quote
