Gonna be looking for a new radiator REAL soon...

should I throw the cash down for aluminum or go w/a regular one? and if I go w/the regular one, should I buy the least expensive one I find on ebay (given the seller has good rep points.)

Thanks guys,
-Alex

cheapest I can find is 77.95+ 20 shipping for a regular radiator brand new. However it says that it only works for AT. does this matter or would it also work for MT?

BTW, i just realized that the aluminum one is only for the 3.0...

Of course, the all aluminum radiator will be more expensive because of what it's made of. Also, there are preformance radiators like Fluidyne and Koyo. They offer their radiators in aluminum and they are also slightly larger than OE. It also provides optimum cooling.

My fluidyne ran me around $400 shipped. It also came with an excellent fan replacement. Not as good as a FAL fan, but still damn good. It takes for ever to warm up my car in the winter now!
