I went to go use this link to get some info on the all Al rad and it looks like Genesis isn't selling parts anymore . You can't look up any parts on their site at least

Glad I got one when I did. I haven't had any issues with it so far and I also ended up bypassing the trans cooler lines out of the rad.

Their website was down this morning. Looks like its normal again now...

Both of my cars are now equipped with these radiators. Still no complaints.

Oh, yep. It's back up and working for me now too.

I have a dual core radiator in my S/C SHO. I'm curious if this would be just as effective....

Random bump for an awesome thread.

I just installed one of these into my wife's Gen III SLO. Great product.

Still running cool in my '95!

For those of you that have ordered a radiator from genesisautoparts.com, what part number did you choose?

 

[SHOtimer]

make sure you flush as I saw slag inside the radiator that flaked off-Made In China!

I had this radiator in my wife's '98 Taurus for a few months and her heater stopped working. I replaced the heater core at the same time as the radiator, so there shouldn't have been a problem.

I back flushed it, and a whole bunch of aluminum slag pieces came out that was clogging it up. Good as new now, but flush those new radiators prior to install.

Did Genesis stop selling Gen I and II all aluminum radiators? I can't seem to find any on their website.

 

[SHOtimer]

I'd try calling them.

Oh noooo...

Well, it was good while it lasted.

All I could find was ones for a Gen III/IV including the "3.4L V6" models

Could a Gen III rad be adapted into a I or II out of curiosity?

Glad I got one when I did.

I doubt it. They are completely different beasts.

Some of the front inner frame rail structure is almost the same, but obviously the rad support is different, but just didn't know how different.

 

[SHOtimer]

I think it is different dimensions. The Gen I-II radiator has the 4 pegs on each corner that put the radiator into the mounts. The Gen III radiator bolts directly to the frame....not to mention that the Gen III doesn't have a radiator cap on it as the Gen III setup utilizes a degas bottle.

These are still available on Ebay. "Taurus Aluminum Radiator". I just ordered one today for $120 shipped.

Ha!

I did the same yesterday. I would have been forever disappointed in myself to miss out on that opportunity.

maybe I missed it, but where do you put the coolant sensor that would normally go in the plastic end tank?
