The 🏂 Co-op: 42 is cold in Florida! Yes, we are worthless and weak down here…..its why i live here

……. Have 3 jackets on to get me 5o work this morning.  Pealing layers to 60’s…..we will survive!

this is a first pic of what will end up our aluminum radiator retrofit kit.  A wide, low (no radiator below the front crossover).  Aluminum core with plastic side can like all new cars with oil and trans coolers integrated.  Strip out the ole fan shroud, steel fan and clutch replacing all that Crap with a twin fan cooler box again like most new cars use.  Not many still have motor driven fans…..the technology has been figured out.all component parts including the new radiator are off shelf components YOU CAN REPLACE!  See, that’s what’s important……maintenance!  When you can no longer replace some part on your coach now it’s time the scrounge.  How about adapting your coach to accept off shelf, easily replaceable main components.  Sooner or later now all of you guys who are running the custom aluminum radiator………the day your radiator fails its time to crush your coach!  Or modify to accept this new radiator kit.

Oh and if your ole original copper cooler is hanging, the day it spring a leak you’ll need one of these……good luck trying to find a quality radiator shop that still has the knowledge to solder you up a record radiator……..today that’s a dieting breed.  We must change with the industry trends to stay vital on the road.

The Co-op motto for 2020 is “adapt to new, better stuff”

Stay tuned, I’ll show you more are the kit components come together and a price as soon are we prove it all up……yeah, this will keep our classic Motorhomes on the road

We are finding several new technology updates that enhance our coaches performance and my guys are all over that stuff.
