Radiator

I need to buy a new radiator. A friend changed my water pump for me. I injured my back and he did me a huge favor. Of course I fed him beers. Anyway a couple days ago my fan went through my radiator. Any suggestions on which one to buy would be greatly appreciated.
I’ve been thinking my wife would want me to sell my pickup. Then she stopped by the local dealership parts counter. And asked their opinion. Luckily they backed me up. LOL

Theres a couple of members here that have, hopefully they will chime in.
I personally run AutoZone rad's for their "no questions asked" warranty returns and I get them a very low price with my commercial account.

I have a mishimoto. I think they have a great replacement policy. Even if it's been crashed.

Might be 2 core but I don't remember. I do know if it only 2 then they are wide cores because it is thick as 4 core size

I went mishimoto, but haven't seen any kind of benefit besides blingy and really hot when you lean against it.

I've been running a Mishimoto radiator for a few years now with no problems. Keeps things cool.

I went with autozone and it was in stock too but mine is a 95 with IDI type rad and std over flow tank

mishomoto is good but not for my wallet at the time after WP went out week before

buy a new reinforced neck or ring for tstat if you have not already
I did fender washers on mine to spread the force out
