Radiator(s)?
What are the options available for radiators. I think mine is leaking on the drivers side. Ever so slightly. Not really thrilled about the OEM plastic.
Happy New Year early.
TIA

Anything from going to a rad shop and having a custom made one....
To getting premium ones from NAPA, etc. or a Ford OEM part with higher capacity.
The first question is, how much excess cooling do you need... for your application?

Totally stock. Was just hoping there was an aftermarket "all metal" no plastic version. Just haul a 4 horse trailer.

That rad is a minimum of $200 for a straight aftermarket part.

There is nothing wrong with plastic.
It lasts on average 7 or more years trouble free.
