What is the main benefit of a plastic tank radiator?

Plastic tank radiators, like this CSF unit, are designed to be lighter than all-metal radiators. They also often use a more straightforward manufacturing process, which can make them a more affordable replacement option while still effectively cooling your engine.

Does this radiator come with a new radiator cap?

This CSF radiator (Part# 3280) does not include a radiator cap. It is recommended to purchase a new cap separately to ensure a proper seal and prevent leaks.

What other cooling system components should I consider replacing with the radiator?

When replacing your radiator, it's a good practice to also inspect and potentially replace your coolant hoses and thermostat. These parts can degrade over time and a new radiator is a good opportunity to refresh the entire cooling system.
