Default Radiator help

My radiator finally kicked the bucket yesterday. It has a consistent stream at the front top right of the radiator because the thermostat wont open. So. I've been looking around for a radiator locally and online and I've found Performance Radiators and Vista Pro Radiators but I've been unsuccessful in finding reviews on them. I'm scared of going to Kragen or Napa lots of horror stories friends have told me. Question is, what do you use or would you use in your 98 1500 5.9L automatic with HD cooling? This is the only Radiator on summitracing I could find for my pickup. Thoughts? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/PLI-431335/

I personally don't go to NAPA because of overpricing, But you should get it locally. There will be a warranty no matter where you get it(autozone,kragen,advance). But good luck getting it in a day, if you purchase online.

I think you were stalked dude..

"attention all units, be on the lookout for a man on crutches, and a huge ***** which suffices as additional balance.. the perpetrator is wanted for questioning in regards to a stalking that just occurred.."

Thats the same brand Rad that kragen/Orielys would sell you. Print that price on summit out and bring it in to a kragen/Orielys and they'll price match it for you.
