I heard that they make a "heavy duty" radiator for the Eco's. I was wondering if someone could help me find the part numbers for them. specifically, I'm trying to see if they make one for a 5 speed, not just an auto.
thanks in advance for any help.

r u referring to the stock one?

yeah, the stock one. I'd like to have the heavy duty one. as to the differences between them, I'm unsure.
is yours the 5-speed model?

22661218 -- Radiator, Standard Trans, 24mm core
The other one is 22724215 -- Radiator, Standard Trans, 16mm core
While I still have the chance I'll just do an edit... call around and see what a rad shop will charge for a 1" core radiator. GMPartsDirect wants 260-something for the 24mm. I have a 1" rad and oh man, its nice. Only time I start to overheat is when I'm stuck in traffic for extended periods of time (cooling fan wiring issues)

hey Rob... what mounting issues did you have? or was it a full custom job? can you give me a price range?

It was a custom job. Ran me just shy of $200
No mounting issues at all with mine, so either the original owner got a 1" core rad as a replacement or the car came with one from the factory.
No... the radiator I put in was new, I'm the second owner of the car... I didn't know that it had a thicker rad when I got the car. A stick put a hole in the rad in the car originally, so I had to get a new one. I opted to get a bigger than stock rad.
I expected it to be a problem going in (with the thicker core over stock) but it fit like it belonged, meaning that someone put a thicker rad in before I bought the car either at the factory (the 24mm one) or the original owner had one put in.
hmmm... I wonder if there is a place here in Phoenix that makes them that will fit.
think you could send me some contact info?

As far as.... it was a mom&pop shop that did my rad... Owner retired last year and liquidated all assets
that blows.
I might have a hookup at work. turns out my boss knows a rad builder that works a lot with dirt track and drag car stuff.
