You wanting an aluminum one.

If not I always get whatever Advance auto is selling.  In everything I've put theirs in, I didnt have to mess with it again unless i damaged it.

Thoughts on radiators... for our trucks... there are 4 different physical sizes so do yourself a favor and measure yours before you order one unless you know for certain that your truck has not been put together or converted over.

X2 on what Advance offers, good quality IMO.
