Don't get a Godspeed Rob. Mine only lasted a year before the end tanks were pissing coolant out all over the place.

Go to NAPA. They have a two core OEM replacement that comes with a lifetime warranty.

Where at? My radiator has been through hell and still fine. I've been damn impressed with. When i rolled the entire front of the nose was pushed down the radiator moved about 3 inches and wedge between the exhaust and front frame; still no leaks.

Did you have issues with the fan switch not threading in right?

Update--
Rad is in, fan works.. smile.gif
Been running for about 30 mins now. Couple of burps from radiator, topped it off. Rev motor, fluid rises then goes down.
Q-- upper hose is warm to touch, lower is cold. Is this an issue or possible more air to burp??

Not completely bled yet. The lower hose will warm up when the thermostat opens up.

Was the heat on full during the bleed?

First u have to bleed it well. Then u can figure out after if your done or now need to check on the thermastat. Assuming you've bled it right. The lower should be hot as well. If cold still u need to take a better look at your thermastat. But when u bleed make sure its best u get your front at its highest point. Put heater in hot. And burp it. If the bubbles never stop u got a headgasket problem but I don't think u had that problem before so start with proper bleeding then the rest.

Heater was on high, as was the blower fan. I had the front end raised enough to get tires off the ground.
Vent heat was warm, so I'm guessing a lil drive will help a bit. I'll do that later today. A bit discusted with myself for not noticing the lower hose needs replaced when I had it apart!! Oh well, live & learn!!
