Gary Lewis Posted May 7, 2022 Author Share Posted May 7, 2022 I rate Champion Cooling very highly. Here's why: I bought one of their 4-core aluminum radiators for Big Blue in October of 2020. It fit nicely and worked well, but unfortunately it started leaking. I tried to contact Stay Cool, the distributor that fulfilled the order I placed with Amazon, but couldn't as their phone numbers were "Out of service". I contacted Amazon who sent a note to Stay Cool on April 29th, and Stay Cool replied the same day with "These radiators have a life time warranty. We can ship a new one to replace the defective unit. Thank you." But I replied to them asking when it will ship and as of today, 8 days later, I've not gotten a reply nor a radiator from them. Given that and the fact that the MC1451 shows as out of stock, I called Champion and Cara answered. I told her my tale of woe and she apologized. Then she looked up my order and was able to find it in their system. However, the 4-row MC1451 radiator was out of stock and they didn't know when it would be available. But Cara asked me to give her some time and went away to scour all of their distributors - to no avail. Then she turned to the warehouse and was able to fine one, and one only, MC1451. And it arrived here today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpin Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 I’ve got one in my F250 and my Bronco. No complaints. Glad to hear how they helped you Gary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rembrant Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 I actually just bought a Champion 3-core radiator for my '52 Merc Gary, and it's quite a nice piece. The truck had a Champion radiator in it when I bought it, but it had dual inlets and dual outlets for the old flathead, and it did not have provisions for trans cooling. So I sold the original Champion rad for a couple hundred bucks, and then bought this one that is made to fit the '52 exactly like factory, but is ported for Small Block Ford and has integral trans cooler.

I have a Champion 3 row in my 84 Bronco with a 460 swap. Really great system and good looking too. Fit perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
