Autozone can sell you a four core made by GDI for pretty cheap with a lifetime warranty. I've had good service for six years so far with mine...

The GDI works fine, but it just doesn't look right. The top tank is kind of goofy. I am getting the correct to sell in the near future.

ttt...any other opinions on what brand to get that still looks stock

I just installed a Modine got it from a local radiator shop , 4 row for $179.00. looks and fits exactly like the OEM rad. that was in the truck.

Yup, same price I paid for my Modine about 4 years ago, and it does look like the OEM radiator. Works great, too...just had to have it rodded out over the summer and now it runs cooooold.
