what kind of radiator should I go with?

Question

I am going to be replacing the radiator in my 94 toyo pickup.

2 questions:

1.) I want to replace my radiator with a physically bigger 3-row radiator.Is this okay? Should I go with stock size three row, or a stock (oem) 2-row unit?

2.) should I go with a plastic tank /aluminum core(I my opinion plastic radiator= problems), or a metal tank with a copper core?Which would give me the best cooling, but still let the engine get up to operating temp?

Answer 1

I would stay away from aluminum, especially if you happen to be where they salt the roads in winter. If it were me, I would go to a RADIATOR SHOP and talk it over. They repair them so should know what is best choice. I don't know what your reasons are for going larger but don't overdo it. I have a full size 4wd Dodge pickup with a 318 and I live in the heart of the Mojave Desert. I have a two pass brass radiator and a five blade fan and it never goes above normal. A large radiator will not over cool your engine. The coolant temp. is controlled by the thermostat.

Answer 2

3 row, copper core , metal tank real expensive but worth every bit

Answer 3

It does not certainly rely what this is created from, as long because it suits the vehicle. you're searching for areas for a six-year previous vehicle. except you're making plans to maintain it perpetually (no longer a sensible suggestion,) pass with the fewer high priced areas.
