1997 Radiator

[britannic]

I'm looking for the best source/price of an OEM quality (or better) stock radiator for 1994-1998 5. 9L CTD.



Online or within 75 miles of Sacramento.



TIA.

If anybody is ever in the West L. A. --Santa Monica area DON'T GO to Santa Monica Radiator, on Lincoln. They sold me a P. O. S. radiator for my old Chevy truck--it lasted a year before it blew out. I took it back and the moron running the place told me it failed because of "salt in the air". Oh Yeah! My truck with the original factory radiator had been running around in the same neighborhood for 9 years, and 30 years before that with the STOCK radiator and his new one fails after 1 stinkin' year and the problem is "salt in the air". That damm radiator he sold me must have been made out of brass about as thick as aluminum foil!



However, a very good shop in Culver City is Bun Radiator on Washington Blvd, West of the 405. They are smart, knowledgeable, fast and fair.

OK, here are some choices I found:



Modine copper/brass core w/ plastic tanks from Global Radiator Distributors: $239. 00, free shipping



1800radiator.com: aluminum core w/ plastic tanks $264. 00 + $9. 00 shipping and lifetime warranty



Is there anyone out offering radiators with aluminum or brass/copper tanks?



Did the OEM rad. come with plastic tanks (this is a CTD conversion on a 6. 2L GM Chevy, so I wouldn't know).

The Modine radiator I bought at a local shop is identical to the OE unit in my '97. The Chrysler pentastar logo molded into the end tank had a Modine QC sticker over it.
