 Topic: radiator repair or replacement
Posted: 03 Oct 2014 at 2:19pm |
Hello forum , any body got any contacts for buying a replacement core or even a replacement radiator for my HD11B ( serial # 2675 ) or a place that would do a core for me at a good price with in some reasonable distance from me ( northern Shenandoah Valley near Front Royal Virginia ) so I could drive it to them or reasonable freight to and from . Don't want to break the bank if I can help it . Appreciate any information to assist me . Finally got the original one out .

Any used radiator that you could find is probably as good as the one you already have. Any local rad shop can recore it for you. It will probably cost over $500, but you would never have to touch it again. I don't think the aftermarket would supply any rads for these big beasts. I am a big believer in recoring the original. Even if the aftermarket could supply them, they would be some cheap thing made overseas. My 2 cents.

Yes, my estimate was based on the recore on my 175 tractor! Still the way to go in my opinion.

Stop at a truck stop, and talk to some truckers, they hear a lot about repair places...

Dustydoo --- Sir , Do you think your radiator shop would be interested in re-coring my radiator for about the same amount of money if I brought it there ?

Finally found a shop to do the re-core for me . Only 80 miles away . Delivered the original one yesterday . Core for my HD11B still available ( build on request ) at plant that does many , many different ones . Shop ordered it and will do the rebuild/install of the new core as soon as it arrives . $1,862.00 plus freight --- in case any one needs to do one . Hoped for less but --- Oh well !!
