I need a new radiator, any other options?

since a 25 year old replacement might be hard to find I'm wondering what other models rads will fit and work?

like ranger rads or whatever?

What year and model is your B? Mine cracked on top (the OEM one) and had to replace it was going to go factory and get another OEM one. But after checking the price I was able to buy an triple core 2'' thick aluminum radiator from Ebay for about 120 shipped. Mounted right in the factory location, fit perfect and took me about an hour from start to finish. Have had it now for a little over 2 years and the truck runs great and stays a lot cooler than it did previously with the OEM radiator. Oh and this was for my 93 B2200. Hope this helps man.

O'Reilly's auto parts sells a "stock" rad but when it arrives it's an all aluminum 2-row radiator. They are very popular and work really well. I suggest getting one of those.

That's what I run too.

You can use a Toyota hilux rad as well as long as it comes with the brackets . You just need longer bolts to mount on

great, yea no oreillys here in canada but I honestly didn't even think of fleabay... that's a good price. I can probley get at least $40 for the stock copper one at the scrap dealer.

If it gets hot out there, you can get the B2600i rad and mount it easily

Whats wrong with the one you have? Why not have it repaired?

the old one is too far gone to repair, it's lost about 20% of it's copper fins...

Ahhh, from an area where salt is used on the roads or near the coast. Yes that will kill a radiator.

I worked at a radiator shop for 14 years. My dad owned a radiator shop for 25 years.
