Is the radiator in a Hemi 1500 bigger than the radiator in a 4.7 1500, and will it fit directly, or is the core support different between the two?

Does the Cummins truck have the same split condensor/radiator setup, or is it traditional with the condensor in front of the radiator.

In other words, I would like a bigger radiator for my 1500 to ward off any future problems, as I have 169,000 miles, I figured now would be a good time to replace it.

They are probably the same between the 4.7 and 5.7. I think the Cummins has the innercooloer in front of the radiator.

That would make sense, as I looked at a cummins yesterday, and the I/C went across the front. I guess I will just have to call a radiator shop and see if there is a 4 core option for the 1500.
