Hey all I am a new 92 Bonneville SSEi owner. I just found out after owning it for only 2 weeks I have a small crack in my radiator and it needs to be replaced. When searching for prices I came across a
1. Radiator w/o coolant lvl sensor or oil cooler
2. Radiator w/ coolant sensor w/o oil cooler
3. Radiator w/o coolant sensor w/ oil cooler

My problem is that I am pretty sure that I have 2. stock in it already. NOT POSSATIVE. but for a replacment what should I put in it. Still 2. or what should I go with. I am not looking for performance or anything at the moment just something that will get me around and is ment to be there. CAN ANYONE PLZ HELP?

I would say you have #3, BUT I may be wrong. All SSEi'* should have the radiator with the oil cooler but I'm not sure if 1992'* had them. :?

Pete'* on the right track........you should have both the oil cooler AND the coolant sensor on either an SSEi or an SSE of that year. My reasoning is that the 92/93 SSE and SSEi used the same GM part number : 52462631

This is from www.gmpartsdirect.com and does NOT include shipping. My car is a 93 SSEi, and has both the oil cooler and the coolant sensor, and if my book is correct, yours should too. Anyone else with a 92 that can confirm this?

I just went throught this a few months ago myself.
Yes, it should have the coolant level sensor that snaps-in (not included with a new radiator; use old one), plus oil fittings and tranny fluid fittings.

Make sure that you get the one with the plastic side tanks, too, and preferably a brand such as Modine that has a lifetime warranty.

Installing it yourself isn't too hard, maybe 1 hour to do, and the only thing to be careful of is not cross-threading the cooler line fittings.

What does "oil cooler" mean? Is that the transmission fluid cooler?

No, the radiator on the SSEi has 3 separate compartments - the center one for coolant, one on one side for engine oil, and one on the other side for tranny fluid.

I know this is an old thread but it is the best one for my situation. I just ordered a ACDELCO radiator for my 94 SSEi, part number 20690. Is this correct radiator for my car? I ordered it off of AUTOPARTS GIANTS.com.

It is old..next time please start a new thread.

When standing in front of your car as Jr'* mentions in the thread, ensure you have the oil lines and level sensor in the radiator. Then check your part number to ensure it says oil cooler and level sensor.

GM part numbers change, as does our knowledge year over year. This is from 2004. Please do as suggested and start a new topic.
