Im still recovering from stickershock after hearing my 88 FLC 120 Freightliner needs the radiator re-cored. This may be off topic because it is for my grain truck and not a tractor but I need help. The repair is priced at $1321.25. Should I try another shop, is that too much considering I removed the radiator and delivered it to their shop? Does anyone know of any good semi salvage yards or other options? Im in KS. Im tempted to reinstall and pur some barsleak in but I hate to "fix" things that way. Thanks for your help.

I just got one of those truck papers in the mail the other day , and there is a company called General Radiator with an ad , listing one for your truck for $295.00 .comes with new bolts and gaskets. 1-800-336-2444. I have never used this company and know nothing about them , just passing along the information.

i know of a place in rockford illinois. i have no clue waht shipping would be for an item like that north central radiator svc ink 815 964 8682 ask for paul hockings. he may very possibly could help you run down a core or send you a new one to have installed by somone near you. he is a great great guy use him on my radiator projects. he can make cores very very resonably priced. recently what i can think of was ih h 135 bucks 6.5 turbo diesel 275. you cant beat the price or the service. even if you dont use him hes a great guy great resouce pry can steer you or give you a heads up on something. very good knowledgeable guy. the shop has been open since the 50's and hes always owned it operated it and its a dedicated radiator shop so they have alot of outlets he can either amke cores or buy them if he can buy them cheapre then what he can make them for but real good price. alot of times when i was buying whole radiators he had them direct shipped to me but bought them through him as he can get wholesale dealer discounts but just ships them to you. so it would save shipping from warehouse to his place to you place. he possibly might know of a supplier wholesaler he deals with down your way that could direct ship to you. worth a call but definily is 1300 is way too much problem with a wrecked truck if you can find one out of a latemodel your pissibly ok but you never know what your getting how well they changed the coolant how well they took care of it and depending on yard i HAVE seen some yards who will stop leak a radiator that comes in w/a leak and sell it as good

Look in a truck stop for one of those great lakes truck shoppers a large catlog thats free that all dealers list in you can find cores there at a fair price your radatior should have bolt on thaks so you should be able to do it your self and save big bucks also look in farm journal or other farm magazines there should be radatior cores for 5-700
