    Slamdunk. Ordering and shipping was super easy and fast. Install was a snap with the radiator being a total bolt in. (Had to redrill two tiny holes for my fan shroud.)
    The two 20-30 min test drives showed ZERO overheating issues. Fingers-crossed for long-term durability/effectiveness but it looks very promising so far.

    I ordered the same one based on your recommendation! I'm glad you mentioned this one vs. the CC7071, as it looks like it fits great with the f134 grill!

    boopiejones I can’t drive 55

    I know this thread is over a year old, but I’ve got the same engine and grille as you and am in need of a new radiator. Do you have the part numbers for the upper and lower hoses you used?

    also, what shroud are you using?
    Thanks.

    Hey there! I'm sorry, I don't have part numbers - I went to Pep Boys and they let me sift through 3 huge rows of hoses for something close. The shroud was from the F134 radiator i had in there before.
