I own a fluidyne and a Griffen. Griffen is a better price and excellent quality. Summit has them for less than
$250.

Thanks for the input drkhrse, but, I have already decided to go with the Fluidyne.

I was lucky enough to make some good tips while I was away receiving wild game... enough to get the Fluidyne without breaking into my savings. :dancenana I ordered it Tuesday, should get it Friday. I haven't drove the cobra in over a month now, and I'm quite anxious to get it back out playing again! :drive:

Very nice. That'll keep your ride running cool in that hot Arizona sun and will look great under the hood as an added bonus! :headbang:

Alright, I got my radiator today, and I'm not happy! Maybe I'm being too picky, but look at theses pics and tell me what you think! Is this the kind of quality I should expect?

Should I be complaining, or should I just run it?

No the box was in good shape... looked like it was packed good too!
I sent an email to LMR along with the pictures I took. We will see what happens! :(

I would definitely complain. That one should be replaced. Unacceptable for an expensive, high-quality product.

Yes, I would expect a replacement and they can pick the shitty one up when they drop off a new radiator like you ordered in the first place!! :pat:

Always sucks when crap like this happens, now you lose over a week of driving your Cobra with an awesome radiator and no cooling problems.... :twak:
