I need to replace my radiator 99 1500 w/ 318 and I found a denso on Rock Auto for a good price. The problem is that it shows for a manual transmission only. Is there a difference, the denso was the only one that specified the transmission. Does anyone know if there is an actual difference in the radiator between a manual and automatic transmission?

 

The radiator for the manual trans won't have the trans cooler on the passenger side.

 

Thank you for the advice, I thought it had something to do with the cooler. Thank you for saving me the hassle of trying to return it, I was about to buy it now.

 

I just bought mine locally. It was like 139.00, and no shipping charges. (plus, they had it on the shelf..... so, no waiting.)

 

I bought two radiators locally, One lasted just under the warranty period(a year)(and i lost the receipt so couldn't get a free replacement) and the second (replacement) lasted just over a year. One leaked from the core and the other was at the seam on the side. If you plan on keeping it get one from radiator.com, They offer a lifetime warranty and can deliver it for free(depending on where you live).

 

My original went out at 10 years, got one from autozone and lasted 3 years, got it warrantied out and it's holding out after 3 years current.
