I have a renegade radiator in my v8 car and it is leaking. I bought the radiator from renegade probably around 2005, not much miles on it, but lots of years.
any suggestions on who I can buy a replacement radiator from? and cost? model number would be great. Attached image(s) ![]() |

So my car had a renegade radiator that had less than a thousand miles on it when it started to leak.i pulled it out, took it to a rad shop and he could not fix it.he tried to fix but just couldn't hold pressure. So I ordered a new one from renegade. and less than a year went buy and it also leaked.the rad is floated in with all the proper schrods.it has the rubber on the sides and the bottom and the little supports on bottom per renegade install directions.I also have ground straps. So I called Scott the owner and ask him (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) first he ask me if I could move rad up and down and side by side and to make sure it's not ridged as the car will flex with that much power.told him yes it floats.so then he went on and on about aluminum not being as pure as it used to be (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) and I mean on and on.to make a very long story short he told me to use bars leaks rad stop leak. I was surprised that this was his fix being a hign end shop.Anyway I went ahead and used them as I didn't want to spend another 500 on another rad.it hasn't leaked since,but I'm sure it will.next time I'm going to go with someone else.
