Orange/pink corrosion on top of radiator
Is this just a bad radiator, or did something else cause it? The engine is not overheating, and the coolant level is acceptable.

Looks like it's time for a new radiator.

OMFG ... +1 on that.

I suppose I should be thanking the gods that I live in FL.

... lack of corrosion and all.

Looks great Turbobink! It always does. You've got to tell us about the cable conduit and coupling that runs on top of the VC. I see you are using Nissan OEM hose clamps.

Those clamps are so easy to use. Just put them into position, then release clip and you're done.

Since Maximaxi is not loosing coolant, I think there is time to plan and shop around for a new radiator, hoses, clamps and other items needed to keep a cooling problem at bay.

Grounding kit ... I just covered the assemblies with wire loom and routed things a little different.
