Re: [Chrysler300] Radiator Re-core, Additional Rows

["Mark Lindahl" <mplindahl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mark,

I had my stock radiator recored and the guy suggested to add rows to the max capacity.
When he did this, it actually made the radiator a little thicker and it never overheated.
That company is now gone, but one that I know does repairs is listed below.  Give them a call.

Lake Zurich Radiator & Air Conditioning
785 Oakwood Rd 
Lake Zurich, IL 60047 Map

  a.. (847) 438-4334 
There was a small leak between the top tank and they were able to repair it after the original company went out of business.
One thing he told me was that it is a good idea to slightly reduce the radiator cap pressure for some of these old radiators.
He said the stock cap (14PSI ?) may actually cause the top tank to separate under high pressure/heat and he felt that the stock cap pressure was really not necessary.  

I would be interested in knowing any comments on this.  I still have the stock cap on there with no problems now.

Mark Lindahl

  Any suggestions on radiator shops in the Chicago/Rockford Area for a
  rebuild on a 1961 G?

  Also, any thoughts on adding an additional row of cooling tubes to the
  stock radiator? It was recommended to me by some of the local mechanics
  but curious if anyone has tried it yet.

  Thanks in advance
