I installed 1 (Spectra Premium CU883) in my 1988 Dodge Aries 2.5. I have been driving since 1967, but this might be the 1st time that I actually purchased a new rad (I probably had a few replaced along the way, and I don't know what brands would have been used).
This is an effort to track down a problem, when fully warmed up, then extended idle, the gauge was rising to around the 2/3 mark or higher, but not overheating. Now the gauge does not move as much so I hope I have a better flow of coolant.
The price from Amazon was amazing - $ 46.76 for a new rad. It's made in China, and is light, and looks kind of cheap, but for the price, I am taking a shot. Also, having a 30 year old car, it is a pleasant surprise when parts are available - you can't take everything for granted with an old timer.
