I have found the aftermarket radiators don't fit exactly like the originals. I ordered a radiator for one of my trucks and it was 1/4" taller than the GM one, I found a way to make it fit. Also the rubber mounts would not fit, I had to carve them out slightly longer to get them over the radiator.

I ordered a 2nd radiator (exact same part number) 1 year later for another truck. This time it was the stock height but the core was thinner than the one previous one i bought. I still needed to carve out some rubber on the mounts to get it to fit.
