Radiator Question

I have an 89 base truck with the V6, 4wd, and 5 speed. My truck has a 3 core radiator. What did they come out with? The local Parts houses only have single cores.


I have spent hours and hours looking then I thought...Maybe this isn't the stock radiator. I need one that will do a good job but the single core worries me.

Any info will be appreciated.

Thanks!

CSF is a brand of aftermarket radiators. Check Rockauto, and price shop around based on that. They're pretty good on most prices though. Personally, I just bought a Toyota radiator, was only a little bit more than any of the aftermarket ones, all metal, and came with a new radiator cap.

Rock auto doesn't have CSF or any all metal for the truck I have.

Where did you buy the all metal you got?

Thanks
