Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 39 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 39 | A while back I swapped out the mopar hot water heater my 36 came with from previous owner, with a 36 Harrison hot water heater and when I started the truck up it was spitting out coolant. Anyone know who repairs these? Send it out to someone. It looks like something in the realm of old school radiator shop territory but I have a feeling if I brought it to a local rad shop they would look at me like I brought in an alien. While I'm here, what's the best way to run it with no heater? Loop a hose from inlet to outlet on block (although hose looks like it will pinch) or plugs? Or hook back up the old mopar  Thanks for any input.

Can't imagine needing a heater very often in San Diego though.
Any shop that can do radiator repair could do the core, it's
just a radiator in miniature. Problem is finding a radiator
shop that repairs them, most now days are only swap shops.

Ours is run by an old timer who does excellent work and actually appreciates seeing these old rads come in. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 39 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 39 | Thanks for your input everyone. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 1,971 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 1,971 | Christian s - Put a picture of it on here would you. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 39 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 39 | As soon as I figure how to link a picture.
