warning there are many G16s sold that the sellers never seen an J18 engine ever, and will sell you the wrong part, for sure. id buy local for that reason alone, avoiding 3 way shipping horrors.
we dont know where here is? usa, canada? where?
the top plastic tank failed, all do. not big deal that.
you cant mod plastic to aluminum, ever.
we Suzuki do not have that. ( huh?) it think you mean brass, yes, no brass now for like 25years.
no, like all cars now, with alum,plastic rads. its new RAD time. for SURE.
there are kinda nice brass clones sold on ebay, most fit bad but with mods to mounts work. done one.

now.
watch out.
even mighty NAPA fails to ask engine code, yours is VIN 2 = J18 , the G16 vin code is 0
most stores does this wrong , due to SUZUKI not using 3 engine numbers, so they cant ask you, it and get it right every time.
as suzuki dealer they look up your vin and then its buildsheet and then get it right.,
no store on earth can do that. we he buyer just be sharp
1: core sizes L&W
2: a/t or mt.
3: engine type. G16A , G16B or J18
not easy, but take your rad with you to the store put it on the counter and grin, me needs this, and win every time.
mail ordering is fail time.
ive done it but only after photos sent and measurments.
ever store should ask you which engine firsts.
door count
and model. sidekick,
and tranny
most dont. KV = van 4dr, KC is 2door canvas top. (secret codes ask by some)
the other way
is the BFSD, big huge screw driver, jammed where a real fly lock goes.
one guy fit visegrips there , in some way.
i hear all the ways, , and all do work....

I have another problem. The upper part (don't know the exact name) of my radiator get crack. I cannot find the one here for replacement, may be I have to mod it to the metal one! Other cars they just replace it, we Suzuki do not have that. Do you know where it sell this part, or we need to replace the whole radiator?
