Delco radiator packaging

Has anyone bought one of these Delco radiators?

I got mine today via UPS from Amazon.

Zero Delco marking on the box and loose inside.

No Delco marks anywhere to be found on the radiator itself.

I almost think this seller might be subbing aftermarket and calling them Delco.

Let me know if you have any info.

AC/Delco is the brand name that you are confusing.

New ones cost around $50. I doubt you will ever see an AC/Delco branded radiator.

Yes, AC DELCO is to what I am referring. I have not seen an AC DELCO radiator for that low. Mine was $103 and that was the best price I found. Just a plain box. No part number tags or anything.

It's your money.

I don't know how slapping a sticker on a radiator box makes it worth twice as much.

I don't follow what you are saying?

Anything less was listed as aftermarket.

Posting a link to the radiator you bought might help?

I am just asking if anyone bought an OEM radiator and got in a plain box. No GM part number etc. Usually they are at least bagged with a part number.

If you want the link here it is I am just talking about what I received.

What I am getting at is everything is after market, even something that claims to be OEM.

Somebody recently posted a website they recommended, I think the prices were way below $50 free shipping. Can't find it now.

Anyone have any tips for getting the drain pet**** out?

It won't come out by hand and the position into which it was tightened is not allowing me to turn it with pliers.
