Holding fluid so far. Had to mod it to fit into my 88 Dodge W-150, not a big deal, male sure you have a bur or small grinding stones on hand to carve the mount holes to fit. I don't really like the drain plug, it's cheap plastic and the tab to grip to open it will surely break off if I ever have to drain it. I will drain it by the bottom rad hose before I attempt the drain plug.You get what you pay for, it'll do the job, longevity is unknown right now, but so far it's doing well.

I have a 1988 D100 with a 318 and no air conditioning. Installation had a hiccup because two of the mounting holes didn't line up, to make it fit correctly I had to redrill them. The radiator works just fine though.

Had to open the bottom mounting slot a touch, ( bout 1/8” ), but she slid on in and cools good! 1987 Dodge W150 318 a/t with ac.

Almost a perfect fit. Ad did not confirm an exact fit for a 1985 dodge truck so that’s ok. With just a little widening of the slots on the lower side mounting holes this radiator slipped right into place. I’ll have to elongate one of the upper holes as well but one upper lines up perfect. This single row may not be enough cooling capacity for this truck but that’s the chance I took for less than half the price of this same radiator bought local. So far I’m happy with it but it’s only been a few days now… I’ll edit if this thing starts leaking. Oh, for reference I was quoted $769 for a direct fit brass and copper radiator locally. This aluminum one for $117.40 was a no brainer for me… let’s hope it holds up.

Muy buen producto, se aprecia de calidad y llegó en tiempo, solamente que el empaque llegó abierto, quizá porque cruzó la frontera y lo revisaron, pero el radiador llegó completo y sin daños

It started leaking after 1800 miles (all freeway). I've tried reaching out to Spectra and Amazon doesn't seem to want to help. Avoid and buy local if you want to avoid the headaches of a replacement.

I had no choice but to replace my previous leaking spectra radiator with another spectra rad and sure it enough, the new one leaks as well. I am a mechanic with my own shop and these are the WORST radiators I have ever seen in 20 years of turning wrenches.

Perfect replacement for 1989 W150 with LA Block 318, works as it should keeping the motor cool, transmission line fitting in good shape and good cooling fin area. This does not come with a Radiator cap keep in mind so you will need to use your old cap or buy new. Only gripe I can say is the mounting bracket holes did not match up. Not that big of deal for me, the top hole on each side lined up perfectly but none of the rest were even close, I ended up just sending a self tapper at the bottom of the bracket on each side to secure the bottom so not a big deal in my book but for someone looking to use factory holes this would be very irritating. This did get me out of a pinch though after no other auto parts supplier could even get these radiators so I was thankful to just find one!

I liked the fact that it was aluminium and cheaper the a copper rad, yet I found that the stove bolts holding the mounting brackets to the rad look cheap. Personally I would have used rivets instead.

A few things:1- Three of four of the bolt holes lined up perfectly. The last one was pretty far off. Have a file ready2- This is shipped without trans lines. I wound up using hose barbs from Ace hardware as Lowe's had nothing that would work3- The fan shroud will not go back on. I haven't bothered trying to see if it can be modified to work as it looks like it would take a bunch of work.Otherwise, it's been in a month without any issues.
