Default Any Quick Help - GREATLY Appreciated

Well I'm on vacation for a week out of state - was to be doing atv riding most of the week. Well, lets just say that a rock / log got in a fight with my radiator and unfortunately won. I called all the dealers here in the Upper Michigan, and no one has them on stock, and if they order and ship will be arriving a day before I leave. Anyone know of a good website to order a new radiator, that has fast shipping? lol - yeah I know its a long shot, but worth a try. Also anyone recommend an online dealer for this part, regardless of length of shipping (worst case I just order one when I get home).

Dang - never got an email response that there where replies.

Nope - hoped I could temp repair it, but one of the cooling tubes busted at the reservoir tank. Had two welders look at it, one that did some radiator repairs, and both pretty much said I was fubar'd.

Was kinda close - Michigamme all week, lovely time, no atv and it rained all week.

Well home now and still looking online if anyone has any good OEM parts places on line. So far best I can find is a few bucks under $300 for a new one. Got one on ebay, but not found of the sellers rating and the negative feedback statements.

I just bought mine from the dealer about $400. If you can get it under $300 your doing good!

Is it your rad that screwed or your line to the overflow bottle? Can you just block the line some how, the overflow bottle just takes in and gives back coolant in case of a over heat condition. If all is fine the reservoir bottle does not really do any thing.

I ran my truck with a cracked open empty coolant reservoir for over a year.

Radiator is shot - heck even that cheesy *** stone guard is destroyed - dumb design IMO. I was able to limp the few minutes out of my woods before the HOT started flashing on the display - that came on as I was pulling into the garage. Now that I am home I will upload some pics of it later.
