Help- Need Radiator

Would any of you gentlemen know of a good source to purchase a radiator for my 93 E150 5.8 Club Wagon? I’ve had a slow leak somewhere around the seam below the cap, and now it’s spraying out of there pretty good. Replaced about a ½ gallon the other day, and when I checked yesterday, it seemed to hold it pretty good. That is, until I got up the road about ¼ mile, and the transmission shifted real hard, and I got a check engine light come on. I parked her, and after she cooled down, I added another ½ gallon, drove her home with no problems. Seems to leak a lot when she’s warmed up.
I’ve had no problems with overheating so far. Also, I have never added tranny fluid since I had her for about 20,000 miles, she’s got about 108,000 on her now. Time for a fluid and filter change.
Thanks for any help!!!

Check with your local body shop. They can get radiators for wrecked cars, so they should be able to get one for you as well.

you could try someplace like carparts.com. be sure to use a coupon, and you con probably get one pretty cheap. got a modine one for my old maxima for about $70 after discounts, inc. shipping. not too bad, huh?

i think the f150's radiators run about $170-180 before discount (four core, are they not?)

try this coupon for $50 off a $100 order: CC2436

good luck,
chuck

Check out www.radiator.com They have excellent prices and free next day air shipping. I had my 4-row radiator shipped to me for a total price of $156.
