I own a fluidyne and a Griffen. Griffen is a better price and excellent quality. Summit has them for less than93svt#2779 wrote:The cheapest Fluidyne I have found is at LMR for $349. I also like the way they look under the hood! I hate to say it, but I'm starting to lean to this brand, its just a good chunk of coin! Anyone know a cheaper place to pick one up for a better price?
$250.

Thanks for the input drkhrse, but, I have already decided to go with the Fluidyne.drkhrse wrote:I own a fluidyne and a Griffen. Griffen is a better price and excellent quality.

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.

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!

Re: Time for a new Radiator!
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?

Was the box damaged in shipping? If not I would be complaining IMO.

I sent an email to LMR along with the pictures I took. We will see what happens!

Re: Time for a new Radiator!
I would definitely complain. That one should be replaced. Unacceptable for an expensive, high-quality product.WillyB93 wrote:Was the box damaged in shipping? If not I would be complaining IMO.

Re: Time for a new Radiator!
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!!
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....
