different radiator types
i drive a 94 f150. am planning on saving up to over haul my cooling system (radiator, hoses, fan) and was wonderin what the difference between the different kinds of radiators are, and what are their advantages and disadvantages
whats the diff between, 3 core, 4 core, and aluminum radiators?

The cores are the number of tubes that the coolant flows through - take off the cap and look down the radiator, how many holes are there in each row? 4 core will cool more than a 3 core. Aluminum is even better cooling but costs more and is not really neccessary for a stock engine. If the stock one has always been good, stick with that or add one more core and you will be fine.
