I decided to get a new radiator and avoid the drama. \u00a0After some research, I settled on a Cold Case radiator. \u00a0It\u2019s a stock fit bolt- in replacement with a lot more capacity.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a two row core, but the tubes are very wide, so it has a lot of surface area.<\/p>\n

My only slight criticism is that the brackets were about 3\/8\u201d deeper than they needed to be, so the radiator body was a bit closer to the firewall than I\u2019d expected. \u00a0This caused a misalignment at the shroud mount bracket. \u00a0Not a big deal since drilling a second mount hole isn\u2019t too difficult, but it may matter to other people.<\/p>\n

I also got the CORRECT temp sender to work with the idiot light.<\/p>\n
