Where can I get a good radiator in Canada? suggestions please...
Hi all,
I'm in the market for a new radiator for my 88 4WD pickup. I live in Vancouver, BC, Canada. There seems to be plenty of online shops in the US with great prices. I'm trying to avoid the high cost of shipping and the exchange rate etc... if I buy from the US.
Is there anyone out there in Canada that has bought a good radiator for less than what the dealership is quoting me ($556 Canadian Dollars !!!) OEM or aftermarket?
Thank you for any suggestions.
Troy

All autopart distributors in Canada do not advertise the price of their parts like the US do.We either have to E-mail , phone , or go in person to inquire about the part were looking for. Its a big joke , just another way of them ripping you off. If you don,t have the right connections its almost impossible to find the best deal. As for the best radiator Troy , phone around.

I just picked up my new radiator with the lifetime warranty. I'll replace it myself and post pics. Hopefully, the upper and lower hoses will fit the new rad because I just replaced those about a couple of months ago at dealership prices.

Now would be a good time to replace your drive belts too while you have the old radiator out. But don't blame me if you break another bolt somewhere. 
I thought we had a NAFTA now? Maybe we need a common currency too like the Euros.

Drive belts were done about a month ago, so I'll leave 'em be until I get another itch to fix something that 'aint broke. ha.. ha.. broken bolt? broken rad? All the same to me...lol !!! The rad fix will be easier than the sway bar bracket bolt fix for crying out out! 
NAFTA? As far as I know, I've only been able to get gas in the US without getting dinged.
