try contacting Spectra to find out where they label their radiatorsPathfinder2009 wrote:As a precaution I had the radiator replaced with a Spectra Premium (so the mechanic says) this weekend. Cost me $635.00. Hopefully she'll hold up a few more years. I'd post some pictures but don't know how.
Does anyone know how to tell what brand a radiator is?

well, at least the label is bright orange, shouldn't be too hard to find unless they stuck weatherstrip material over it when they installed the radiator.Pathfinder2009 wrote:I just contacted Spectra and they stated that the label can be anywhere from the sides to the bottom. The label would be orange. Also, he sent me a sample label and it shows made in China. I thought they were manufactured in Canada so I asked him if that were true and he stated that they're not necessarily made in Canada but also manufactured in China and Mexico.

Most aftermarket radiators are made in China or in that region of the world. That doesn't necessarily mean it's a poor quality part. The Spectra Premium rad has a good reputation and a two year warranty.Pathfinder2009 wrote:I just contacted Spectra and they stated that the label can be anywhere from the sides to the bottom.
