Ok so i have a crack in my raideator <sorry for the spelling....anyway i'm looking for a good replace ment that will keep my engine cold better than this one will...what are the best brands to go with? i'm also thinking about going ahead and getting a E fan while i'm at it since it will all be off the engine.. anyway thanks in advance.... o yeah i have a 2.3 5 speed

 

Just get a new radiator from the auto store and get an e-fan

 

Your engine is mildly modified, you have no need for an upgraded radiator.

 

i was just saying while i'm haveing to replace it i might as well go a step ahead of factory.. but i get whats ur saying.... thanksfor the help

 

I understand what you're thinking, but its the same thing as buying 93 octane gas for a stock motor.. just throwing money away.

 

but if he buys 93 octane and then upgrades something else it will be beneficial..... gotta look at this in the long run trailer queen ;-) hehe

 

yup lol i do planon keeping this truck until it falls apart...and maybe if i can find a 302 will be and engine swap when i get another truck this comeing year...but i agree it would be like buy 93 octane on a stock motor

 

sorry wowak but i disagree. maybe not on the new rangers but on the fullsizes they radiators are adaquet for cooling. add A/C and a little outside heat and it barely does the job. i vote find a different radiator from auto zoo. they carry modine and u can get a 2 core (not sure if ur stock one is one core or 2) and they are high quality with a lifetime warrenty. make sure u flush the cooling system, add the proper coolant mix and u should have years and years of trouble free driving (make sure to flush the coolant every 2-3 yrs as well)

still, go to autozoo or advanced and ask for a modine radiator, very nice units.

 

well i went to a radiator shop and they quoted me 350 to fix and install the old one and i knwo i can find a new one for that price so i'm gonna go look tommorow and see what the prices around here are

 

im tellin ya autozoo or advanced can get a modine...i think one for mine is $150 so urs should be the same or slightly less. install it urself and save some mucho $$ spend it on a set of e-fans.

oh and if repaired radiators scare me...unless its a temp repair

 

yup i'm going to auto zone tommorow and gonna buy a new one....the guy at the shop said he would have a reweld a whole new tank on becuase this one had cracked so much

 

aahh sounds awful cheesy to me. good luck man.

 

Go ahead and get the upgraded radiator, especially if you have an automatic. It'll pay off in the long run. Cooler running trucks are happy trucks.
