replaced the radiator on my '00 5.2L due to a crack in the plastic on the side. $225 at auto zone looks just like the OEM without the mopar stamps. It does have the trans cooler in it and I do not know if they have one for M/T's without the built in cooler.

unless you are looking for like a racing aluminum radiator, but why?

Why aluminum? I replaced the stock aluminum and plastic radiator on my Ram with an all brass 2-core unit. That thing holds about 6 gallons of coolant. I couldn't be more pleased.

Last year I added deep oil pan, deep alum trans pan and a second tranny cooler. Like to add an oil cooler and much better rad with the HP Ill be making next year. I need a race grade rad, with no tranny cooling, alum, prefer polished. Brass wont go with my color scheme

2 companies i use to work for both made custom radiators..one was more for racing and the other place just made what ever the customer wanted...the first place is AFCO{american fabricating} and the other place was PRC{proformance rod and custom} both are located in SW Indiana and with measurements im sure could make anything ya want most i seen from both are polished alum. got a mirror finish to em but im sure you could em painted. im sure ya could find info on both of these places on the net,cant remeber if they have web sites or not.

The brass radiator is on the left. I think it will go well with your paint scheme

Some guy sells 3 core brass CTD radiators on eBay for around $265 (IIRC) or so. That's what I'm looking at.
