I hope you have better luck getting a radiator off of EBay then I did.
They did have the best price with delivery.
It was suppose to ship within 48 hrs. it didn’t.
Then after 4 phone calls and a whole week wasted trying to find out why it didn't ship,
It wasn’t in stock in there warehouse,
I finally told them to cancel it. They told me to cancel it they were going to charge me a 25 % restocking fee!
I said in a not so nice tone, how can you charge restocking fee for something you never had so you could not pull it?????
They gave me full amount refund and I ended up having to apologize to this poor girl, who really was not making the decisions,
Someone who did not have enough guts to talk to me was making them.

I ended up buying one from radiators.com they weren’t that much more.
I ended up buying one for another truck also.
Yesterday I found this website may check them out http://coolestradiator.com/index.php?vPath=DODGE_1996_RAM+1500_null_1095689_1 8
132.95 is not bad at all and free shipping.

Last time I needed a radiator I went to rock auto and looked up the part #,lets say it was visteon 12345.Never heard of visteon,so I go to website,looks like quality.Just on a chance went to amazon and entered visteon 12345 in the search.Was $50 cheaper than rock and free shipping.The truth is a cheap radiator is usually cheap.Not saying they wont work.I have an ebay aluminum radiator in my toyota,no complaints,but
I was a little shaky on the quality at first,but it has worked fine.
