Genesis Radiator No Oil cooler vs oil cooler?
like the title says no oil cooler (ALL29597X9590AA)
vs oil cooler (ALL29625X9591AA)-pros/cons
i like genesis because they are local and seem like a top notch product that i can run for a while.
if i can remember right the oem radiator did not come with a oil cooler 2002 1500 chevy- truck is at my brothers house i havent seen her for over a month now.
i just got my fans from trick and cannot wait to install them but after my trip!

I have never heard of them before, but looked them up and they looked pretty cool... Nice price, I might replace mine with a new radiator with all aluminum instead of plastic tanks.

If you got the radiator with the oil cooler ports and wanted to run an oil cooler, you'd have to buy the cooler lines and adapter from the dealer to make it work. If by some chance you got the rad with the oil cooler ports and decided that you didn't want an oil cooler, no big deal. You can just leave the ports alone or plug them so no debris gets in there in case you ever change your mind.

Is it worth it to run the oil cooler? I have a 5.3 L33 2005 and it came with the electric fans factory. I think with the aluminum block should help some and aluminum oil pan, but have thought about getting the oil cooler and adapter that fits above the filter to try cool the oil off some.... Also if it is worth it, what is the part number for the lines and adapter? Thanks.

I feel that there are a lot of variables that determine whether an oil cooler is worth it or not, such as the application, climate, t-stat and fan settings, etc. On an NA truck like mine that sees some winter driving and never tows anything I don't see it as being necessary...

Let me know what you think of the quality of the radiator. I ordered the one with the cooler and lines+fittings all for around 220 to my door. I found a 20.00 off coupon on the net for the radiator which covered tax and shipping.
