1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Napa OSC. I've had meh experiences with Denso replacement rads.

 

Anyone ever use that windshield repair kit they sell at the auto parts stores for chips in the glass? I've had a bullseye chip in mine for over a year, hasn't gotten bigger but don't want to push my luck anymore.
It's the kit with the gel and syringe that you fill the chip with, curious if it's a waste of 12 bucks or not

 

You got a kid on the way? With the dad joke?

 

well I charged it with the required refrigerant and it dumped it all in a day. I’m just gonna replace everything

 

Fuck, I hope not. She just broke up with me.

My daughter is turning 27 on 2/27, I already had the dad jokes

 

I said a prayer when I installed my Taiwanese Denso.... I think it was Taiwan, maybe Korea? But same thing, yeah I feel ya. Who makes the Napa one?

 

Fo sho, all the stuff already coming and Hawaii is pretty much year round AC

oh gawd, I wonder if this is a bomb or diamond

 

Theres one in the dash of your truck

 

yes bro, I work in a hot area and have wanted to kill myself in the heat. To jump back I always look at it like this; it’s nice to replace parts and not worry about that part or system anymore

 

OSC makes it, they offer their own as well which is a Spectra. Both are probably fine. The OSC just didn't have the auto trans deals. Denso is really the only replacement rad that has dissatisfied me. My green truck had a TYC that was great and only $75

 

Some poor sap is gonna buy those for his 2005 2nd gen and be disappointed

 

Can't quite tell if the axle is covered in dirt and mud or not? If it's not green or blue than I believe it's likely not OEM. I can't tell if the CV joint part of the axle on the right is that tri lobe oem style? Or just plain round cylinder style, indicating Chinese?

 

I didn’t notice that haha

 

What do you do when your whole family looks down on you? Give them a big ole It’s so fucking aggravating when they all fine and good until you bring up an idea. If one more motherfucka says I’m stupid about loving cars I could just choke em



Sorry just had to vent for a second. Guess that’s why I’m more of an introvert

 

Oh I thought the OSC referred to the line of product from Napa. Didn't realize was the maker, gotcha

 

Nah they're just another random manufacturer of radiators. They all seem to be from one or two actual factories though. The OSC looks exactly the same as my TYC and has the same parts number

 

I cleaned it more and got some scotchbrite to get the gasket surfaces all minty. Was getting that alternator ready to put in.

 

Yep, you're exactly right
