CSF All-aluminum radiator problems.

Postby smj999smj » Sun Nov 03, 2019 1:18 am

I just heard about this on the ClubFrontier forums: the CSF #7029 all-aluminum radiator made for R51 Pathfinders and 2005-up, V6 Frontiers/Xterras, is no longer being carried by Off-road Gorilla due to the number failures that their customers where having with them. Also, I no longer see it listed at Stillen's site.

I just wanted to give those that have them a "heads-up!"

Can't find the thread, do you have a link?

My CSF is working really well, no leaks.

Post #69 on this thread at ClubFrontier was where I learned about it:

It doesn't really say much other than one person mentioning the radiator and then the next poster referring to what he found at Offroad Gorilla's site. The link to offroad Gorilla's page is on my previous link. I then went to Stillen's site to look up the radiator and they no longer have any listing on it.

might be quality control on the last batching because I have seeing people posting issues on social media Nissan groups. Before everything used to be good reviews. Even local Nissan guys have no issues.

The company I got mine from on eBay apparently no longer carries it either.

Oh well - no issues on mine. I checked mine pretty thoroughly for leaks last month. I'm pretty happy with the increased cooling capacity all summer.
