Radiator which one too get
I would like some help on selecting which brand radiator too but for my 04 Dakota 4.7l engine.
I remember a while back I read a post on someone buying one with a dual core rad or something. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
my truck runs cool in town but at 70mph it runs right next to the line before red. Changed water pump with the aluminum propeller. Failsafe thermostat. Flushed rad. Used antifreeze with hoat.

Better get that replaced ASAP the 4.7 dosent like being overheated they like to blow head gaskets or worse.
It could be your fan clutch not the rad causing the problem as she runs ok in town.

I just installed a SPECTRA PREMIUM Rad from rockauto.com and it looked to be a good quality part to me very thick and strong.

Im not sure how thick that model of SPECTRA PREMIUM I grabed was as they dont carry that model anymore it was the last one they had so no details to look at anymore. I guess .25 could help some Im more concerned with how strong the core is I tell you it came just a little bent and asked to return it they said keep it free we dont want it back as it was the last one and refunded my $$. So as it was free I tried to bend it back some so it would work by standing on it and bouncing up down it worked just enough so it worked installed it and no problems.
Nice free and strong no leaks no cooling problems
So Im not sure of its thickness no details available but it sure impressed me.
