I have a GMC Griffen Aluminum Radiator for sale. I purchased and installed it in May of 2007. It has both engine oil and transmission coolers in it but both engine and transmission in my coach have gone bad spreading bearing material, aluminum and iron throughout these two coolers. I have blocked off the coolers with plugs, so for all practical purposes it is this radiator without coolers...

The radiator for sale is in other wise excellent condition. Coolant fluid was changed every 3 yrs.
This new radiator without engine and transmission coolers, sells for $700. Asking $300 plus shipping, or can bring to the fall GMCMI convention. PM me with your questions.

Larry,

Sold!

As far as shipping goes if you can get it to the Branson Convention John Sharpe could carry it back to Houston for me.

If you're not going to that convention is there anyone in you neck of the woods that is?

If neither one of the above is possible bring it to the fall GMCMI Convention and I'll make arrangements with someone from Texas to
bring it back.

Regards,
Rob M.

OK, but keep in mind, and let me emphasize... neither of the two coolers...engine oil and transmission....are viable. Both have been compromised. I was advised by both engine builder and trans rebuilder to NOT use them lest I void any warrentee. Let me send some pics of it sometime in the next couple of weeks. Can't right now. I'm going to be busy care taking Lucy for a while.

Not going to Branson for obvious reasons, and everyone that might be going is already gone. I will bring it to Fall GMCMI. Hope it works well for you.

One more thing I forgot to mention, there are two extra 5/8" hose connectors welded into the radiator, and located directly below the upper radiator hose. They are there to accomodate the Cadillac engine. The Cadillac engine does not have a dash heater/house water heater return on the water pump like the Olds engine does. So I had two 5/8" hose bungs installed when the radiator was built to accomodate the return of water from those two heaters. These will have to be blocked off or...in your case...maybe used with your Caddy. I can send you a pic if you'd like.

Larry, If anyone is coming towards Chicago, leave it with me in MW Indiana and I'll get it to Branson. I also might be headed to Manitoba, or BC later in July but that is after the Branson rally.

Thanks for the offer Ken. Rob and I got it worked out. Don't know about everyone else but I surly appreciate your willingness to help so many...so selflessly. You are a gem.
