What radiator do you recommend on Amazon? 1986 Mini-Cruiser


Recommended Posts

Hey all, 

 

I'm about to swap out my radiator on the 1986 Mini-Cruiser.  It has an oil cooler that is attached with plastic rods.  I'd like something good but on Amazon.  Any recommendations?

Nothing on Amazon but this is the best radiator made. 

2 row

And three row

Your truck came stock with a 2 row before it became a motorhome

3 row is the way to go

When I bought mine the 3 row was back ordered and I needed it immediately, so I had to go 2 row.

Works perfectly but I also have a Sunrader that weighs only 5000 lbs

These are the best prices I could find

I heard others have good success with 3 row radiator, but it did not work for me. Truck ran hot right off the gate. A mechanic said the factory water pump is undersized to push coolant through the radiator.   

 

As far as where to buy online, try RockAuto.  In most cases, RA's price + shipping is cheaper than Amazon with free shipping.
