Thinner radiator?
I just bought a 'stock replacement' radiator offline but its an 1/4th inch thinner than my stock one. Will this cause any issues???

As long as it cools the same, it shouldn't.
I believe I saw this before, as the same part number was shared among all Cobalts for the aftermarket rads I saw.
I'm not 100% if GM has different part numbers or not...

yeah..
I bought the damn thing off eBay... The auction for it says its supposed to be 7/8, but its only 5/8( I screwed up in my OP its 1/4 in. Thinner than stock).. I'm wondering if these people are scamming buyers because I called them and they said they'd have to check to see if they had the correct thickness(although their auction for it says 10 or more available) and the radiator looks exactly the same as the stock one..
The crappy part is I'm in NC and it came from Cali, so to get a refund I've got to send it back to to them(which will take a week) or to get an exchange(if they have the right size)ill have to wait 2 weeks in addition to the week I've waited already for the one I have
