Okay, I have a 2-row radiator in my truck (came with L6).

I just got a 4-row radiator for my truck.

My core support has the proper holes and stuff for the 4-row radiator, but it seems the upper and lower saddles don't fit it. See here (closeup):

And here (at a distance):

Is this just the wrong radiator for my truck, or did they make bigger saddles for my radiator support? It seems like the lower saddles are about as big as they're going to get, and I don't think I can fit any larger saddles there.

Looks like a 3-row radiator would be a perfect fit, but the guys at 1-800-radiator do not issue refunds and do not list a 3-row radiator as being for this truck.

Advice welcome.
