PT40 Radiator
Am searching for a replacement radiator for my 82 PT40. The core is
failing and I plan to replace it and/or the entire assembly. Blue Bird does not have any source or radiators available so thought someone may have replaced the radiator. Will rebuild the fan assembly and replace all cooling system components too while everything is out of the coach. Any help is appreciated. Terry Neal 82PT40 74FC34 Bozeman, Montana |

Terry any good radiator shop should be able to replace the core
and make it like new. Can you take it out or do you want them to do it? Godan industries is a major supplier of cores for over the road trucks and buses.

Terry, I just talked to Todd Parker, owner of Parker Repair and Radiator
Service. He said to bring that to Livingston, and he will fix you right up. His phone is 406-222-3166 115 North M St. Ernie Ekberg 83 PT40 Livingston, Montana [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |

Thanks much for your reply Tom. The radiator is out of the coach &
when I checked it over, I decided that I wanted to replace it. I'll give Godan a try. Maybe they can build a core for me? I will probably increase the overall cooling capacity at the same time.

You might want to Give General Radiator a call 1-800-336-2444. I have used them for an MCI9 as well as the wanderlodge.

Terry, It may be easier to just have your local radiator shop replace the core.
I did this to my generator radiator last month and it actually was cheaper. Using the existing brass(copper?) reservoirs and new core, I believe that the radiator is now solid.

Thanks much for the info Allen. I called them and talked with Jim. I
asked them to build me a new core for my radiator. Sounds like they know their business. Said they do all the work for Chicago Transit Authority. Good price too for a core that will add about 30-40% cooling capacity to the old style core. Thanks again.
