Hi all, my radiator started to leak and since I tow occasionally I wanted to see what upgrades were available. I came across a few threads that mentioned Valeo 732622 or CSF 3516 radiator. The valeo one is two rows which is the better option but can't seem to find it in stock anywhere. I found a site that shows 2AMR2294AA as the Valeo Mopar exchange number but after looking at a few online they don't look thicker. Wondering if anyone had any suggestion on a better radiator for someone who tows and/or if the mopar cross reference is correct?

 

Mine did the same the one got was a single roll but the tube was wider than the two combined on the stock. My rt 5.9 is packaged trailer and tow. SPT CU2294

 

Ishmair, I believe the trailer package 5.9 RT only included folding mirror, power steering cooler and a trans cooler. Radiator is the same I have two RTs one has the tow package one was normal. The spectra cooler you listed is stock width. "Automotive Heating & Cooling System Depth: 1.25".

 

Go with the CSF (assuming you have the 4.7L, you didn't list any info) and you'll be good. I'm still running it. Pretty sure that was my thread you came across...

I have a 5.9. Apparently the dodge mopar heavy duty one is MOPAR 52028818AD but mopar has no specs on size which makes me think it might not be so heavy duty.

Ishmair I also just checked both my 5.9, the sport ones radiator is 1.00" thick (aluminum side to side) the other r/t with tow package radiator is 1.5" and in the spec sheet it says heavy duty tow package.

 

Just so you know...

There is a heavy duty and an extended duty or some such cooling systems - so 2 levels of extended performance.
1 was towing upgrade and 1 was police/taxi upgrade.
The names change book to book and page to page - much confusion.
