Radiator change and H/E hose upsize.
Had to change the radiator out and this was no easy task. Good news is that Amazon had the Behr rads for about 285.00. While I had it out, also changed out all the small, bent up H/E lines that go to the blower and up-sized them to 3/4 silicone hoses.

There are two small kinked up H/E hoses, one for inlet and one for return. Both were changed out to improve flow and ease back pressure on the pumps.

Anyone find a larger core rad? I ordered a CL65 rad but was the same amount of cores.
