new radiator time
 
alright, i know i shouldnt be, but i am still running the stock 2 core radiator. i'm suprised as hell that its been cooling my engine adequately.

looking to replace/upgrade it in the coming months. i cant decide on what to do.

1. stock replacement 4 core

or

2. drop in alum. radiator


i dont want to fabricate a lot of stuff to make it work, and they'll both cool plenty for me so i'm just wondering on price.

with as nice of truck you got i would get a alum. would look much better and you can get a 3 core and it will cool it as good. but i would let my wallet make mind my up too.

I run a stock 3 core copper bras on my car and it won't get past 180 in the summer(thermostat temp)

I've never seen anything bigger then a 2 row alum one.
