Radiator leak
hey guys- Got a question for you- I've got a 96 Bronco XLT and just found out when I start my truck in the cold morning it leaks coolant on the left side of the radiator. But during the rest of the day, no leak. What should I do?
Thanks Mike

Radiator leak
Alpine, our 96's rad sprung a trickle leak last year about this time of year (~53,000 miles). It is the "plastic" side caps that leak. We replaced it. I saw on some News Groups that people patch 'em up somehow, but they didn't provide details.

How can I tell if its a 1 row or 2 row core? It is a 5.0 302 but there is 2 different radiator part #s.
SRP1453- 1-Row Core
SRP1451- 2-Row Core
Thanks

here are some measurements:
1 ROW = 27 5/8 X 18 3/8 X 1 1/8" deep (fin depth)
...
2 ROW 27 1/2 X 18 3/8 X 2 1/4" deep
---------
I believe the 2 row is the "super engine cooling" rad. (trailer tow package).
here is an on-line store (besides Modine, etc, which are sold via the On Line Store here by usradiator)
