Radiator replacement. Help!

[hayseedjrc]

I am tyring to locate a replacement radiator for my 96 12valve. The factory radiator has a three row core and most of the replacements I am finding have the same core thickness but only list two rows of core. Has anyone else experienced this? What have you all encountered?

i just swapped out the one on my 92, and the
replacement was a three row.. not sure why
your year model would be different. i did look
around and all of them do show a 2 row only.
strange...

Where did you purchase your replacement?

Mine's a 96 and it's got a 3 row core but I don't know if it came with the truck or if it got replaced before I bought it.

I got one for my 98 from here Chrysler Truck Radiator

The row aren't setup the same, so it looked different. I think there were fewer of them, but the were wider tubes, so the actual surface touching fins is the same. Just double check your inlet and outlet sizes and location to be sure it's the same. It was the cheapest I could find and they got it to me 4 days after ordering online. Mine has plastic tanks and aluminum core, but they say that can vary, but for the price I didn't care.

My temperature bounces up and down just like stock and that's with no fan for the winter. If anything, it runs a little cooler than the stock one I had. I also towed an empty 7x14 trailer with no fan in 40-50 degree weather and it worked fine.

Found the replacement at NAPA.
