I'd like your ideas on radiators. I have a good used Northern single pass in stock. Looks like a good unit… it came out of a pavement late model.
Now my questions… what brand have you used and how about the good, bad and the ugly about each. Is a double pass worth the $$$? Speedway radiators… any good? How about AFCO?
Your ideas are welcome.

I run a double pass. Speedway radiators are fine. I use done last year with no problems. I have used Afcos in the past and have no issues with them. Single pass would probably work for you but hard to say. No real negative with any of them. |

The only thing I watch out for is if the core is epoxied to the tanks or soldered. I believe the speedway rads are all epoxied. The life expectancy of the epoxied cores is less than desirable. I run the AllStar rads. The price is good and they are all soldered. Nothing wrong with a single pass. I use a double but both will get the job done if you water pump pulley speeds are correct.

The rad I have is a 22"… going to try to have the new brackets built to accept a 26" core… that can't hurt.

I use afco single pass with no problems. Have used Griffen in the past with no problem. As stated the trick is to get pullys ect. right. A air deflector at the bottom and a fan shroud helps. Speedway and Allstar are both furnace brazed. Afco is tig welded. Not sure about Northern but buddy runs one successfully. If I were you I would flush and pressure check the northern you have and give it a try , but that's just me. =#01H

I've got a 20 dollar bill invested in this Northern… it's worth a try.
