Best Aftermarket Radiator!

I have replaced radiator cap, and still leaking pressure. Looking for recommendations on new radiator. (OEM, or Aftermarket?)

I have come to the conclusion I need a new radiator due to when I come to a stop, my cars cabin stops heating, and actually blows cold. When I am driving, the car heats well! Changed fluids, Bled system, changed thermostat, cannot find a fix. Figure, I may as well change the radiator since it's leaking pressure out of the cap! Any ideas recommendations would be great! Thanks

i have a 96 2.5tl and got my radiator at napa. seemed to be the cheapest i could find. i too flushed, changed cap, and finally radiator. mine had a hairline crack though that eventually blew open before i found it. since then my car was overheating and kept blowing fluid into the over flow. and was boiling bubbling hot. i changed the cap AGAIN and it fixed the problem.

I used radiatorbarn.com twice and they served me well. Timely shipping and most importantly, good product. Also less than $100 shipped for a radiator is .

I recommend them.

Talking My car has never overheated!

What I can't figure out is why my car does not overheat! Maybe a temp control sensor? Also, my fan never kick on, no matter how far or long I drive! Please help!
