Which radiator?
I have an 07 Z51 A6 DD, which I do not track at this time. I was thinking about upgrading the radiator. I just wanted to see what the forum uses and likes.
Thanks.
Thanks.

No Sir. I flush the cooling system once a year and have a 160 degree thermostat. I am just trying to see if there is a better product out there. Sometimes GM has the best part & then sometimes not.

We put a Be-Cool "drop-in fit" radiator into my 2001 with auto tranny. It didn't quite drop in, and the fittings for the trans cooler lines were incorrect.
After about a year, it started leaking. They sent me a new one under warranty (had to send the old one back to them for inspection, after putting in the new one). Part was free but labor was on my dime, about the cost of the part.
After another year, the second Be-Cool started leaking. I reinstalled the stock radiator and lived happily ever after.
If I wanted to make my street-only car a little cooler, I would install the stock Z51 oil cooler and leave the radiator alone.
Either way, good luck and let us know!
