The Radiator you shipped has extra lines that I don't need, why?

Don't panic!! The extra nipples (TOC, the transmission cooler, or EOC, engine oil cooler) do not need to be capped off and you have in fact received the correct part. It's a closed system - a single bar travels from one connection to the other for each system without interacting with the tube-and-fin area of the radiator. I know, I know… you are imagining the waterfall of coolant all over the place that looks like it will inevitably result from filling the radiator, and you don't believe me. Just cover one of the connections and blow air through the other.. You'll see its just a little pipe. The transmission or engine coolant is cooled through the metal of this pipe - it never interacts with the radiator. For this reason, manufacturer's make the automatic version of a radiator and no manual versions... keeps us from making any mistakes!

Pontiac Bonneville Radiator Installation

Here is a cool post from one of our customers from pontiacbonnevilleclub.com

Your listing doesn't explain if it fits automatic or manual.. Which is it ?

When looking up your part, make sure to click on our "more info" link located underneath the product description. You will find pertinent information about all our radiator, heater core, condenser, and gas tank applications. Most of our listings will mention if the given application fits automatic and or manual. Very few aftermarket replacements are transmission specific. Only for certain racing or older vehicle applications will you commonly see A/T or M/T specific replacements offered. You do not need to make modifications to your vehicle or the unit itself to use a multi-fit construction. If the product does not mention specifically what it fits, that indicates that there is 1 model that fits both applications of auto and manual. If you have any questions about our listings, we encourage you to call us @ 1-866-723-3977

Where are your parts manufactured, I don't want a cheap foreign replacement?

Our OE (original equipment) quality replacement parts come from all over the world. Wait! Don't close that browser window just yet. This is the case with virtually everything you already own, including the clothing you have on right now and the computer on which you are reading this information. We do not guarantee any specific countries of origin, but we warranty all of our stock replacements the same, no matter where they come from. We only manufacturer items in our owned facilities overseas and only do business with manufacturer's that can assure quality control in their manufacturing warehouses. Most items on our site will indicate built to OEM specifications, that means tested to the dealer standard. In many cases we sell our parts to the dealership when they run out of their products which are also made overseas. If someone claims to sell you a part "Made in America", they are most likely referring to Central America or South America. What we deliver is an honest service, no strings, no faking. Its our business to ensure you purchase the correct radiator, the first time, and that it lasts... Trust us, we don't like doing warranty claims!!

Your site says "Name Brand Replacement" what does that mean?

Radiator Express ® sells only name brand parts that are manufactured to the original equipment specifications. We even sell original equipment parts for many foreign applications. Our products are hand tested and come from American based companies that you can depend on. We make this distinction because the quality of part that you install is a very important issue. To view more about the products we ship please visit our Radiator Express ® About Quality page. We do not generally list part numbers on the website, or specific brands due to confusion and potential mis-orders often result by ordering via part number. Most radiators you receive from our service will be sent from a local facility. They will normally have the Radiator Express ® logo on the box. Sometimes we will ship an affiliate brand to ensure an item is not delayed. If you require a specific brand name, be sure to contact us via phone to order.
"Radiator Expert Tip" - Let's Be Serious !!! If a price is too good to be true.. Trust us it is. . The competitor will most likely end the sale with surcharges, extraordinary shipment fees, or send you a no-name product that they obtained from an overseas warehousing with a lackluster warranty even though the overseas call center assured you it was XYZ brand. They may even tell you its a "very complicated fit" to get you confused, worried and overpaying for the part. The prices on our website may not always be the lowest you'll find... But we can assure you, the item is to OEM specifications, we created and added it to the website by hand. We added notes to the descriptions and made distinctions to the listing so that you know if you need to check the core size, or product date of the vehicle etc. (no autoparts cookie cutter catalogues..here...)
