On my way back from work one of my co-workers that is ruthless a**hole threw
a latex glove filled with water at my truck. my billet grill is off because im in the process of powder coating it. it hit the a/c cooler unit that is in front of the radiator, it bent the fins the size of the glove and push that portion of it toward th radiator a good 3/4 to an inch back. so my ? is will it be ok or should i get it replaced and have the a**hole to pay for it

Your going to need to replace it. It’s a large portion of fins that are damaged and that will cut down on the amount of air that can pass through the condenser. Its also more prone to leaking or failing down the road especially since the fins are pushed back that far. He couldn’t aim for a window - of course once your grill is removed?! LOL

 

You won't notice any change in performance. Just make sure its not rubbing on anything!
If you can get him to pay you will be looking at $ 500+ for Ac recovery replace condenser and refill.

 

lol yea i know right, i took it off like week earlier, he said he tried to and well look what happen, i was going 50 and so it was about a 100 mph impact on that thing. hey least i wasnt driving a chevy or a dodge it would have tore it all to hell. how much are they do u know by anychance.

 

i work at a family owned business and i told his dad and mom and his dad said i'll just take it from his pay check. he only works 40 hrs and gets paid 8 an hour now so that sucks for him

 

You can buy a fin comb and straighting those up, no prob........

 

just looked at it more when i had more time and top corner mounting spot is broke loose so it moves back and forth. it put a crater in it. although it was glove it was filled with water,that hitting most anything at 100 mph it will do some damage. i cant just take a comb and straighten, makes since if it just push the fins flat but more damage than just that

 

Get the money first. pad and attach the old unit in place till then. Its an easy fix/replace if you have the tools!
100mph water baloon!! Get him a try out with the Local Baseball team!
