While I had my SIV's engine out I went through other major equipment and had them checked- one being the radiator. I was told after having it pressure checked that it was OK. I inquired about having a 3-row core replacement for more efficiency, but the guy said if I was just driving around town, it would not push enough air through to really "do the job."
NOW I'm losing coolant and the temps are elevated (but not steaming) and I suspect the radiator is losing the a/freeze through a split. I've not checked it with a pressure check yet. If it does prove to be the radiator, was the earlier advice credible? Is it worth the extra cash to buy a "new" radiator with the 3-row setup, or should I stick with the original setup?
Not running an electric fan, but until this incident, didn't have problems cooling. The cap is a 7lbs. standard cap. No fluid on the floor... can't see any in the oil.
