I used the Dorman 918216 from Rock with the 5% discount code. Two barbed fittings from ebay, some protective conduit for routing, and definitely drop the bumper when doing this to make it easier. (If you decide to do the trans cooler upgrade that is)

You found a great deal.
Most are selling that radiator for around $774 these days.
Jegs has it for $684.
There's a 6.0 Cooler install article in the Tech Folder - https://drive.google.com/viewerng/vi...MGM2YzhiYTliZQ
The radiator cap is a Stant 10238 - 16 PSI.
The best upgrade I've made is the Hellwig front/rear anti-roll bars, they made a huge difference is the handling, especially for towing.

I swapped to the 6.0 transcooler while I had the radiator out. Was hoping to flush radiator while I was working on it but ran out of time.

if u haven't flushed your coolant system and put some good coolant in it I would do that. Replace the theermostat housing so that doesn't leak on u. Maybe new hoses and degas bottle. Maybe the thermostat based on age of it. That is what I did.
