Re: Radiator advice please

I was against buying the new cheap looking plastic / aluminum radiators when I was looking for a replacement radiator for my truck. It just didn't seem right putting that in an old truck that came from the factory with a brass / copper radiator. I finally broke down and bought one anyway because that's pretty much all that's available from parts stores these days.

I have had it in the truck a couple of years now and I couldn't be happier! My temperature gauge used to rise when I was pulling a trailer or pushing the truck. The truck runs cool now no matter how hard I push it. The one I bought is equivalent to a 4 core, but instead it has two large cores. It doesn't look original, but it performs very well. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one. It was about 1/3 the price of the fancy all aluminum radiators, which seemed to have mixed reviews when I was looking.
