    I 2nd the vote for an aluminum radiator. I have one sitting in my tool shed until it comes the time to change out the current one.

    Yes you are right,but my 3 row Griffin was $600 & another $200 to polish out!
    Has failed twice ---they stood behind it both times.
    But I know most people on this site would not go the route I have!!!
    So for the money what you get will work & isn't all that bad !:cool:

    More rows = better cooling ,more fluid !
    If the engine is stock I don't think you will see much difference!
    Call LC & ask one of their techs. I always talk with John .:cool:

    If its a stock motor yes one row should be fine. If your boosting then atleast a 2 row. That sucks that ur 3 row died! Thank god for warranty I hope? But anywho good luck on your choices. Ebay has some radiators. Single row and 2 row and they ship to hawaii. Know quite a few people with 2 rows from ebay and theyre happy. mines on order. Good luck!

    1 row=stock, basic mods (intake, exhaust, cam)

    2 or 3 row is like for what I do every few years....load the bed to capacity, hitch on a 5k lb trailer and drive 300 miles at 70mph.
