Radiator help needed
2009 Durango 5.7. Looking for a new radiator. The one I have the upper hose neck was cracked, leaking and finally broke off.
Here's the rub, as the radiator is mounted, everything is mounted on the passenger side. Cap, upper hose and, lower hose. Short lower hose and a short upper hose. Every replacement radiator I and others can find has the lower and the cap on the passenger side and the upper is on the driver's side, and the show a short upper hose.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Well that depends, I put a 3 row in my Power Wagon(stock was 2). It was wonderful in the summer keeping it cool. But in cold temps 30 or below i had to block part of the radiator to gain some heat. Soon as the t stat opened there was to much cool antifreeze coming in and never got up to temp. Doubt you will have this issue the way they make radiators today.

Many was the time I put pieces of cardboard in front of the grill. Just keep an eye on the temperature gauge. Eventually you find a sweet spot on air flow.
