Need Help Buying Radiator Online!

[MikeSoha]

Hey Maxima lovers, like myself :p

To make a long story short, my 2000 Maxima (salvage title) overheated the other day, which brought my attention to the radiator. The radiator showed signs of coolant leakage and a majority of the fins were damaged as well.

Replacing the part is my only option, and I've decided to try buying one online. I've never bought a radiator online, so I don't know which companies to trust. I've already looked around and have found two that look legitimate. Before I purchase from either one, though, I'd like to know for sure. I just don't wanna get ripped off again. Has anyone ever bought from

or

?? Which should i go with? Thanks in advance.

This site has a vendor status on another forum, I have ordered quite a few parts through them

Have also ordered my brakes from this site. Although nothing is listed, they can get pretty much anything you want

You sure the t stat is good? I actually did my hoses and tstat with my radiator....

well if the radiator is leaking, it needs to be replaced. I would check the thermostat as well, because it could be stuck and if so it could cause a lot of pressure build up, and thus cause radiator leaks

In addition to radiator and thermostat, verify the water pump is operational. Also check the condition of the coolant hoses.
