Sven, a few years ago I thought I was going to need a new CAC as it had 4 good sized holes in it so I called Atlas and they told me a hew one was $1100 plus shipping. Ft said $3300 + and a 6 week wait. I decided to "fix " mine and it worked out good, still solid. Did not have a rad price but was thinking you should be  more than $800 better off dealing with Atlas so wondered what the prices are now on those items?

John, the service manager at Quality Motorcoach in  Eugene said that when a radiator needed replacement, the chances of a bad CAC was about 50%.  The only way to be certain would be to inspect it after it had been removed.  I could order the radiator from Atlas for $2200 (6-8 weeks) and then be in a bind if I found the CAC also needed replacement.  It is still serviceable, how long would it still be good before I would have to dismantle everything again?  The price of the CAC hasn't changed much, apparently.

John, is the CAC just an aluminum radiator? or does it have larger passages that can be heliarced easily? How did the holes get in yours?
