| I have a 1988 GMCV Conventional with a 8.2 Detroit/Allison Auto. I need to purchase a new or used radiator. This bus was wrecked and I have everything except the radiator. Can someone direct me to one? My phone is 812-874-2216 leave a message with our receptionist and we will call you back. Save on phone charges. |

| Seems like most independent radiator shops could get you an aftermarket Modine at a reasonable price. I bought one for an '86 several years ago without any difficulty. |
If it doesn't fit, FORCE it.
If it breaks, well, it needed replacing anyway.

I'm sure he still has that in the shop waiting for a radiator.

Darn this one is old. I think we got a used on from Mr Johnson over in your neighborhood. I have been getting my Chevy stuff from 1-800-radiator.

Heh, talk about an oldie....
Just this past year I needed two radiators for a couple of our plow trucks, both IH 2554s, a '99 and an '00. The fins were so rotted the tubes were bouncing around and I knew this would be all bad during a snowstorm.
Navistar wanted $1300 for an all aluminium radiator replacement. I checked NAPA Prolink with the IH part number and they wanted $730 for the EXACT SAME MADE IN CANADA RADIATOR! No brainer, huh?
Well two months later I bought another one from NAPA, the same one the IH dealer was selling, for $599!!! These are very well constructed radiators and fit perfectly. If any of you have International buses with those half radiator/half charge air cooler fronts, the same company makes them and are available thru NAPA considerably cheaper than IH.
If you have an OEM part number and a NAPA Prolink account, it's worth a shot! |

| We do find a lot of stuff with ProLink. The boss actually has a Napa store in the front of the building and a service center next to that. I have to share my building with a bodyshop until I can afford to lease the thing myself |
