Best radiator brand

[SLIM]

I’ve had the best luck with cbr and have heard good things about c&r… I’ve had multiple Ron Davis radiators leak! 

I have had the same experience

CBR does not do repairs anymore. Just fyi. Good radiator but I had a leak in mine and their only fix was to buy a new one. I found an old school radiator shop who fixed it for $150

8 years and counting, no issues. CBR and

CBR Radiator Weld On Mounting Kit With Urethane Pads Will Also Fit PWR and Ron Davis Radiators - Kartek Off-Road

Another vote for CBR, thanks for replying.

Thanks for the info. Was the leak anywhere a guy could get a small tig torch?

2 Ron Davis and both have leaked. 
Sent my old one to CBR and Clint duplicated it. So far so good!!!!

My vote is cbr. From what i’ve seen doing repairs and installs cbr is not only better they are usually cheaper too

I like to mount vertical when possible with full support across the bottom and zero extra welds to radiator. 
 

this one i built a complete shroud/support off the front, incorporated the mounts into the shroud and the radiator bolts in with no welds

Thanks for your vote. I called CBR and asked for a quote on a 31"x19" with a heat exchanger, shroud, and fans. $2K, Bridenflation is killing me.

So why do you want a heat exchanger? Are you having temp issues?

It was suggested on here. I didn't have any temp issues.

I run just the cbr radiator and the factory ecu. The unit signals the fan to come on at 210. Winter time they seldom run; summer runs they will come on. When they do the temp drops pretty fast and fans shut back off.

You don’t need a heat exchanger unless you have a turbo or supercharger. 
If you want an oil cooler CBR sells those as well.

I’d run an external exchanger if you really need to cool the oil.
