New Radiator

Looks like the radiator in my 2000 F550 (7.3) is starting to go. Tried to look up and order a new one at FordParts but it says discontinued. Plenty of options but I would like a good quality replacement not some trash from China, can anyone offer a brand suggestion.
Thanks

save ya pennies!

Mishimoto is the only way to go IF you plan on keeping the truck. Expensive but worth it.

Go on Rock auto and buy a Denso radiator. Denso actually produced the ford radiator and many other rradiators for other manufactures. I put one in my F350 two years ago now I believe and it was an exact oem match to my original. You could tell the quality was the same as soon as I took it out of the box

Do you have a link?

I don't see a Denso radiator on RockAuto for a 2000 7.3. I then searched the Denso www site and don't see that they even make one for the 2000 7.3.

I've had the $200 all aluminum welded up...no gasketed tanks that will eventually leak on the top drivers side where you put your knee when you wrench on the truck...in both our trucks for 6-8 years now with no issues. Yes they are probably made in China, but I don't care for the gasketed plastic tanks...and the Mishimoto units are $$$!

Rockauto is just like every other auto parts supplier, they sell what's available....Here's what they have to offer for that year F550
