Title: Radiator part numbers
Post by: Craig R on November 13, 2023, 08:02:29 PM

I'm trying to learn the part numbers for the range of radiators factory-installed in MCI MC5c buses. I have recently learned - I think - that the MC9 radiator with eight rows of tubes is PN 6G-1-9 and the MC9 radiator with six rows of tubes is PN 6R-1-28; I am looking for a similar PN for an MC5c radiator. Can anybody help me with this?

The folks from Diesel Radiator have suggested the numbers "6G-1-93" & "6K-1-5D"; however I have not gotten dimensions yet.

I believe that that is them.
Now, if I could just get the information I was seeking !
Oh, yeah, to answer the previous inquiry, they're in the Chicago area.

Definitely do research on Chicago radiator companies, look at their reviews

Thank you for the cautionary insight; I'll steer clear of Chicago Radiator.
However, What I'm after are the part numbers !!!!
I need a part number in order to identify the correct item ... then I can buy it from somebody other than Chicago Radiator.

Take one into a reputable rad outfit and they can set you up probably a lot cheaper then original. For maximum cooling specify dimpled tubes. 30% more cooling.
