New Aerostar with 59K miles!

[Fordsgalore4]

Check eBay/Amazon for a replacement. I wouldn't bother trying repairs. I bought one from "radiatorclassic" there last year for $75.69 delivered. I just did an ebay search for "Aerostar Radiator" and see the price hasn't changed much.

If you were on right now, I see one going for $$68.95/free shipping in the next few hours without any bids on it.

Don't laugh but i never bot stuff from ebay be for but i for got my local radiator shop cleans and fixes them for 45 bucks with a 1 year warranty i might go with that path

I paid over a hundred for a radiator, so the EBay place is pretty cheap. You might be better off getting a new one for $68.95 instead of repairing the old one for $45. You could get an additional $1.38 in EBay bucks back with Paypal. Does he install it for that price too or is that just for the repair if you give it to him? You could get a few dollars back if you give the old radiator into a scrap metal recycling shop.

that price is for me taking it to him to fix i never bough stuff from ebay and iv ordered one online once and had to send them both back because they both came damaged in shipping and ended up waiting two weeks for a good one to show up after that I went to auto parts store and the last one I had fixed but my current one leaks when it fells like it

Sorry to hear of you bad luck when purchasing from eBay. Mine arrived promptly and didn't have a mark on it. I've had very good luck with my eBay purchases. I always make sure the seller's rating is near the top though. I buy laser toner cartridges all the time and do get a bad one once in awhile but the sellers have always made them good.

Good luck with your repairs.

All of these fans crack after a while but they keep on going. How bad are the cracks? Could you post a picture?

that is a way easy to post pics like that

It's easy to attach a few small photos, but not that practical if you're trying to add text in between large photos. That crack is major, and isn't like the smaller cracks I've seen before. Try a junkyard or an aftermarket fan from Hayden or a similar company. Did you consider upgrading to an electric fan?

are the fans the same as the ranger and explorers

 

[BrooklynBay]

They should be similar. Make sure that the bolt pattern matches up.

Have you ever seen or heard of them coming apart when the engine was running

 

[BrooklynBay]

No, but anything is possible. It looks great! Most of the 1996 models have a side moulding along the side of the body.

 

[jprentice94]
