Default Rodney Red radiator

Does anyone know if Rodney Red is still in business? I've searched with no luck. I have a Rodney Red I installed about 20 years ago. It's a good radiator but I think the cap needs to be replaced. If anyone knows if Rodney Red Is still in business or how to contact them, please let me know. Also, if anyone knows of a cap that will work with a Rodney Red, please let me know. Any help appreciated. Thank You.

Hi pngoat - Were you able to make contact with Rodney Red? I have a Rodney Red in my Firebird and would like to inquire about fans? Thanks.

Not able to make contact with Rodney Red. There web site says it's under construction. That's all I know at this point. Will have to keep checking their web site from time to time. If you're able to make contact, please let me know.

This isn’t of any concern to me however, it’s rather interesting. I recall that company years ago, lots of people had them or wanted them.

My internet sleuthing turned up zero info, which in and of itself is bizarre. Various terms used, not a single hit, not even a Facebook account which many businesses, much to my annoyance, utilize as their “web page”.

Will do. Thanks for responding. I got their address.

They appear to be closed. I may call adjacent businesses to see what they know.

I found this number as well. It's disconnected. All signs are pointing to closed / out of business.

Spoke with the former owner of Rodney Red Radiator; Jerry Wirth. Found him by calling local businesses.

Rodney Red is no longer in business, but he is more than willing to answer questions via his email address.

You can reach Jerry at jwirth@rodneyred.com. Nice guy.

Thank You kentmurphy. I have e-mailed him to see if he knows if a replacement cap is available.
Thank You again.
