Just a heads up, that's not the part number, that's the stamp that designates the type of plastic. PA66 GF means it’s made of Polyamide 66 that’s glass-fiber reinforced. The part number is PEL500110. Great video though! Super helpful to have that info out there

Yeah, I realized that months after the video was out. Too lazy to re-edit the video. The correct part is linked in the description.

Haha, a lot of us, self included, have made that mistake before. A great video regardless.

Installed a new radiator, and found a previous had JB Welded a small section of the core. More reason to replace it. Threw a new water pump in there while I was at it. The one that was in there looked good on the inside, but the bearing had some slop to it. The “Extinct” inline thermostat mod went in as well. Temp drops significantly once they peak around 199 - 201 at long stops.

I am seeing a small drip puddle from the front right frame rail, but only after the car is stopped and not running. No visible leaks. I’m thinking it could be excess coolant trapped in the frame from the radiator removal and perhaps some from the tank overflow hose. Other than that it’s running great now.
