This is the model I have, it fit pretty poorly to be honest. I've made some modifications and it still has rubbing issues.
Hey can you let us know how it fits poorly? We have recently started including the lower rubber bushing mounts. Without them and the radiator sitting too far down in the lower bracket it will cause issues with the AT trans coolant lines.
You might try raising your front end a bit with using the torsion bars. From what you describe it sounds like your front end might be a little low. Sorry we weren't responsive with a solution, it was the first time hearing of the problem. If you PM us, if you want to make anther order of anything I'll give you a discount for the trouble.
It's too bad the factory radiators cannot perform as well as a better metal and radiator design. I've never had a problem installing any aftermarket radiator myself. As far as limited demand, have you seen the influx in the past year in western sites like eBay and Amazon selling radiators shipping from China.
This is a disappointing response to witness. For someone trying to sell lift kits for $3000 I would expect you to be aware of what torsion bars do and do not do. Cranking the bars will not help your customer’s poor radiator fitment. It will not change the spacial relationship between the radiator and the front diff. It WILL, however, mess with the van’s alignment. Are you offering a discount for that?
Yeah but it’s a known issue with these rads. Imo this is too small of a community to simply ignore or deny accountability, let alone make the situation worse by by suggesting it’s a problem with your suspension. People read these forums for advice…
Thanks for the nice response. I guess I should avoid quick responses. Ideally I should have asked what all has he repaired or replaced in his van for bushings and other suspension components first. I just jump to a way to check if the front end is sitting on bad bushings causing the subframe to sit higher. This could also be done by putting it on a lift and checking the bushings visually and physically. So instead of jumping to write a paragraph about how likely worn out bushings in the suspension, driveline, and subframe can in fact cause spatial issues directly relating to the radiator and front diff. Oh and thanks for mentioning the lift kits, the sales are actually going better than I anticipated with multiple kits going to USA, UK, and AUS.
You're right, it's not a solution, just a way to diagnose a potential issue. I will have to think about my responses more carefully to contribute to this being a resourceful site for people to find solutions, not just spouting off useless to 90% of people things. Appreciate you bringing that to my attention. Sorry for the passive aggressiveness.
Does anyone know of a compatible top bushing for the radiator?
