Does anyone know of a full aluminum radiator for our trucks? I'd especially like a drop in replacement unit if possible.

My current stock radiator is I believe 4 core, about 2 inches wide, and has the transmission cooler build in as well.

I searched around this forum and others, and can't find a radiator that is easy to install in our trucks that have a full aluminum core.

Thanks!

I believe Loco Laptop runs one. Hopefully, he'll chime in. I've been looking at some on eBay. Just trying to figure out which ones are the quality ones vs the low quality offshore stuff.

Here's a few I found with a quick search.

i personally run one and it works great and fit great, it is a 2 core with built in transmission oil cooler. I also have made the switch to efans so i cannot comment on how well it fits the original shroud. if your about 2 inches thick then this is about the same...... and if you were 2 inches thick then it was probably a 2 row as well

they also have a 3 row if you feel you need it

Wow that is a great looking radiator. It is a drop in replacement? No cutting or welding required?

My current radiator is about 2" wide, if this is the same i suspect it will fit with no mods to the shroud.

I can easily cut plastic. But I cannot cut or weld metal.

Thanks for the help guys! I searched around for a while and only found generic units that needed extra fabrication to work!

Did you purchase from this ebayer? Or do you have experience with this brand? I notice it is about half the price of the summit ones listed, so is it a chinese knockoff? Thanks!

i purchased from this ebayer, it was a direct drop in, no fabrication required. did have to pull the transmission couplers off of the old radiator but they bolted right up to the new. Fit perfectly and looks great. i do have an efan though so i didnt have to bolt up a shroud... it has worked great for me and is much better quality than anything i had before in there....I had never had experience with the brand but anything looked better than the cheap autozone ones i could find locally, i dont know where its fabricated but it is a very nice product

Thanks again for your input. I will be getting this ASAP, and probably installing this weekend. I'll let you all know how it goes.

IMHO this will be a much better option then getting a plastic bonded to aluminum radiator like a stock replacement.

i could try and shoot you a picture later today if you want.... if i get out of here before it gets dark, but the truck is at home today. i was trying to get away from the plastic bonded ones too, thats where my last one leaked from, was at the junction
