It,s time for a new Radiator. My 1993 850 (no turbo) with 206,000 has finally cracked its OEM model. I am considering the Silla from autopartswarehouse ($180). Anyone have a better model or price? My car is getting long in the tooth, so I don't want to spend a ton on a performance model. If I can get a few more years out of this ride, I would be thrilled. I will be doing top and bottom houses. Is it also is it a good idea to replace the transmittion houses that go into the radiator to cool the tranny fluid? One of them looks a little beat up. Any thoughts?

    Pick&Pull is a good idea, especially for a tranny hose. I prefer the Nissans radiator because it fits better, but is $20 more. Not too sure about a junk yard radiator that has been exposed to the elements and who knows what else, but you might get lucky.

    Replace the thermostat with OEM, and the expansion tank cap with new.
