Default Radiator Question

Ok, my radiator has developed a small pressure leak at the seam of the core and plastic tank. And have been looking on the internet at replacements, my question is, which radiator to buy? (the description says "1 row" or "2 row" i guess im a lil confused about he descriptions) I have a '02 1500 5.9L can someone steer me in the right direction

the more row the better and more cooling capabilities. I use to have a 4 row aluminum in my 442

It can't run too cool if your thermostat is working properly!! If you have the tow package go with the 2 row.
