Any recommendations on a direct fit after market radiator for the 2.3?

Re: radiator help
Just about any part that an auto part store or online retailer lists as compatible will work. They're all pretty much the same: aluminum fins with plastic siding. The only thing to watch out for is the inclusion of a transmission cooler, in case you have an automatic. That is integrated into the radiator siding, so don't forget about it.

I bought my radiator a few years ago at Advance for something like $100. Lifetime warranty, etc.
It had the transmission cooler built in, but I have a manual transmission. I just bought a couple of plugs and plugged the ports for the transmission cooler to keep dirt and water out of it. It dropped right in and has worked flawlessly for 2 1/2 years and about 40,000 miles. Granted, my truck has a 3.0, but I can't imagine you'd have any different experience with the 2.3. |

I'd say hunt around online for a good deal if you have the luxury of waiting. If it's an urgent repair though, whichever store has one in stock for the best price is the recommended option. |

I know it's been awhile since I have bothered you, I need your knowledge again. You have never steered me wrong and have always given great advice/opinion. I was looking at the coolant sensor thread and saw you had an SCT tuner. I have done research on just about all that are available for my 01. I have pretty much settled on SCT. My question is with other performance mods and or stock is it worth getting? Do you feel a reasonable difference, how much power do you think has been gained? I have a manual trans just for info. I have heard it makes a bigger difference with auto. As always I appreciate your thoughts and help. Thanks Joe Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk |

I got mine from a 07 4.0 ranger. They are all the same design 98-11 but the 3.0/4.0 have a fill cap on the radiator itself. Little easier for filling up! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
