You might want to try flushing out the heater core, because the water runs through there and when I flushed out mine a ton of rust came out.

Anyone got a link to a metal aftermarket battery tray? I think someone had a link to it awhile back but I'm on the app and I can't find it. I broke the OEM plastic one and a bungee cord is only a temp fix.

I really don't know what radiator to get. I know I want a 3 row radiator and it has to be all metal. There are so many to choose from and I don't want to waste my money.

I read 3 rows generally have smaller tubes and therefore clog more easily. Don't know if it's true, but my CarQuest radiator is working just fine.
