Need a new radiator
« on: October 12, 2017, 03:18:29 AM »
Hello all new to BAC so hope I do this correctly
I have an 03 Patriot Thunder Lexington only trip since purchase was to bring the coach home from Oregon.
Unfortunately while getting tow vehicle set up radiator developed a leak and cannot be repaired. I have read that there is a shop in Oregon that is making replacement units traditional steel /copper not aluminum and need there contact info
Thanks Michael

Another possibility woild be Dave at Evergreen Radiator in Port Angeles, Wa.  Dave does all my radiator work.  He does marine radiators and bigger stuff.  I asked him some time back and he can do a radiator like ours .  As I recall he said under 3K.  Google the number, I think it would be worth while to at least call.

Good luck

Got mine from SOURCE Engineering in Coburg . They supplied the original to Beaver so built a new unit to Beavers specs. I got the copper/brass unit after I found the tubes in my previous 2 aluminum radiators were glued in. Hopefully I won't have to replace it again. My 03 Monterey is  rear radiator so it is probably easier than the side units. The number for Source Engineering is 541-343-0293.

Hi ther finally got the coach back a couple weeks ago and are on our first trip
Went with RSH in Sweet Home . While the radiator was out I had the cac tested so now there are two new units there. Figured while it was at the diesel shop had oils ,filters  engine and generator also SYN trans added on the tranny service. Saw a post this morning about a 5 year old radiator having problems, think I’ll ask if they used distilled water or the premix just so I know.
Rodgers Diesel in Fresno did the work seems like they did a good job and took care of the Coach as well, which is also important to me.
Thanks again for the help
