Hi Guys,
My 91 LWB GQ4.2 Turbo Diesel with inter cooler has sprung a leak in the Nissan original radiator.

I have had some overheating issues while touring high country, but new viscous hub seemed to fix this. The radiator has now sprung a leak and looking to replace however looking for some advice on recommended radiator for this model. I have heard the Terrain Tamer alloy is very good ?

Any recommendations appreciated

THe biggest unit you can fit would be the go. Stay away from the chinese alloy radiators. If going allo go a PWR or ADRAD unit. Also a decent copper/brass item is the go.

Is there such a thing as to big though and it not allowing proper running temp?

Maybe if it was as big as the front of the car. But the thermostat still regulates the temp. By the sounds of it old mate could benefit from a larger capacity radiator with towing.
