My Freightliner mechanic sent me to a specialty radiator shop (where they build rads from scratch and recore). He said he could do it but it would cost an arm and a leg. The rad shop could not do a recore as the side panels were plastic. Looking at the rad he thought he's seen one before and within 5 minutes determined that it came from a Volvo truck. Had the replacement the next day and the bonus was that the new rad has 4 cores while the old one had 3. Rad cost $1800, labor and misc parts was another $1400 (13 hours labor at $90/hr). This was done in Mississauga, Ontario. 330 Cat side rad on a Freightliner.
BTW the dealer wanted $3000 just for the rad.
