If you decide to replace the radiator and plan to keep the truck a while, best to purchase an all aluminum radiator, which alleviates the common leak issue that occurs where the plastic tanks are crimped onto the aluminum radiator core. The CSF 2969 radiator is an exact bolt-in duplicate of the factory 2nd gen radiator, but its just all aluminum, tanks and all.

 

+1^^ CSF no longer makes them, the problem becomes finding someone that still has one in stock.

 

still available. get em soon or suck wind.

Thanks for the suggestion. Getting everything together to do the plenum now so ill go ahead and pick one up and get that done while I'm in there.

 

Great! I bought one a while back when I swapped engines and love it.. Shop around - they still seem to be plenty around. Here's a link to another one:
