Tradewinds radiator

[switzer]

Have a 2000 National Tradewinds 7371 with a 300hp diesel Cat. Need a new radiator and was considering changing it myself. Does anyone have a part number for this radiator as I wanted to get the new one before I removed the old one. Any suggestions on a cost effective place to obtain one would also be appreciated. Thanks in advance to your assistance.

I had the radiator on my '99 Tradewinds 7371 replaced last October. Freightliner wanted around $2,000 just for the radiator. Don't ask what they wanted for the installation work!!

A great little shop in Highland, IL was able to come up with a new aluminum-core aftermarket radiator from their supplier in Memphis, TN for $950+$75 S/H for the part. They installed it, filled the coolant, pressure washed and cleaned the CAC (which was cruddy), and checked the thermostats for me (which, to my surprise, did not need changing). Charged 7 hours labor @$85/hr. I might add that they said it was harder to get to than they expected, as they needed to disconnect some things to get the old radiator out.

I'm generally a do-it-myself kind of guy, but I'm glad that I had a shop that knew what it was doing fix this for me. I'd probably still be fighting with it.
