Im ordering my new radiator however theres a 100 price difference from the 97 to 98 5.9L. What is the difference between these. Ive been told 10different things from oil, trans etc lines in it. I have a aftermarket trans cooler if this matters. Can i order the 97 cheaper one for my 98 or is there a true difference. I couldnt find any post on this, thanks for advice.

 

Both are $121 on RockAuto.com?

 

you may be lookin at one for a 5.9 diesel

 

i have never seen that site b4. I like it. I have only a jeep dealer, advance, napa, pep girlz local so only quoted through them. I got a 180 quote for my 98 from all of em, then down to $89 for 97 models just was weird. Wasnt aware of any design change.

 

i know diesel 5.9 is different got one of em too. Only gassoholic has issues. IDK what they did to the ctd truck but everything seems to be of better quality on em. Just a pain in tail when thing do break.

 

i got a new ebay rad for mine for just over $100...been doin great so far

 

i saw them on ebay however same ordeal i mean its onlt 120 vs 100. i dont get how dodge only used a different radator model on 98-01 5.9gas only. I see no point in paying more if its truely same setup. Im not trying to cheap out if i need the other then ill but reguardless. i just figured if you guys knew if it was something as simple as trans cooler built in i woulnt care since i got the aftermarket. i dont see any difference but dont wanna bite it if im wrong

 

When I rebuilt my front end after my accident I got a used rad out of a 98 Sport in a junk yard, fit my 99 perfect and only cost me $30. Was $20 but I got the $10 insurance in case it leaked on me.

 

LMC shows the same rad, 94-02 5.2, 5.9 and 3.9s
