Tough to find a good one at this point. Check with O'Reilly's auto parts. About $200.00 new. Made by the company that used to be Modine radiator. Recoring has become stupid expensive, $400+.

Alan, I bought an aluminum universal from Jegs. It fits real nice but does not have a trans cooler. I added an auxiliary trans cooler in front of the radiator.

I hear ya Chuck. Just inquired about a new radiator and was told none available and only re-core is my option unless I wanted to pay for the high cost of shipping. To have it re-cored will cost more than a new radiator and I was told it's because of the high cost of material used. High cost of everything sux!

I didn't know radiators came with built-in trans coolers :huh: Huh, gotta look that up. I did the same, but if I had known, I would've gotten the all in one.

Found an aluminum replacement with trans cooler built in. The only difference is cooler line 6" apart instead of 8". They wanted $450 to recore the old one, and the new one is $265. Original not availible and no longer produced per 3-different sources.
