What does it mean? My radiator also has some green/corrosive looking spots all over it. The smoke or steam is coming from the outside of the radiator, like on the surface of it. At first I thought it was just some liquid that some how found it's way on top of the radiator after a long drive but it did it again today and there was no water or anything like that on the radiator at all. I inspected the hell out of it just to make sure.

Also does anyone know if the PWR is just a drop in radiator? I tried searching but it won't let me search for PWR!

The PWR should come in stock height & width so that it drops in while leaving some clearance for the stock fan. Of course if you're going to be going that far, you'd probably be paying a few extra bucks for some electrics, right? I'm just going to guess you're riding on a manual tranny.

Electronics? Like electronic fans? Yes I have a manual transmission. My sig says I have a 5 speed.:icon_bigg

Oh sorry, I just kinda glazed over the post so I didn't even catch the sig.

But in any case yeah, you'll be alright. I figure if you're going the extra step for the radiator, you'd be going with electric fans for extra "frostiness." The PWR beats a stock radiator any day and you can never have too much cooling.

The PWR Radiator is so damn efficient that the stock 10-blade fan doesn't have to be replaced.

It's a tight fit though, but it fits with no modifications whatsoever. Just drop it in.
