What is the difference between a space heater and a radiator?

I'm still waiting for your punch line Candice! You told us where the cheap radiator is made but you didn't tell us the brand name! Also, what kind of news do you have (make, # of rows & width of cooling tubes) on the $200.00 radiator.

All inexpensive radiators have aluminum cooling tubes and finns with cheap plastic end tanks on the ends of the cooling tubes. There's a little secret in selecting a replacement radiator. Lay your old original one on a flat surface and count the number of cooling tubes from the top down.

*Using a tape measure carefully measure the overall width of just one of the cooling tubes. Jot these figures down. When you go radiator shopping, make darn sure the new radiator has *at least the same number of cross cooling tubes and *sneak a thin tape measure in the new radiator to make sure the width of the cooling tubes is no narrower than your old radiator.

Cheap replacements occasionally do not have the same cooling capacity as the old one did. It's perfectly fine if the cooling tubes are wider on the new radiator but don't buy it if the cross cooling tubes are narrower. Have fun shopping Kido!

I had to chuckle at Roy's remarks. Aluminum is a metal and they cool better than more expensive, old fashoned brass or copper radiators. The hottest race-cars in the world all have aluminum cores with aluminum end tanks.

Aluminum is stronger than copper!

Well, to be crass, the difference is $140. The knock-off $60 radiator is going to likely be a case of "you get what you pay for". How long do you plan to own the car?

A few years yet? Spend more than $60 on the radiator.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
