Default '91 S-15 Jimmy Needs a Radiator

My S-15 Jimmy needs a radiator. Are there any recommendations on what's good and what's bad? Thanks.

I don't know how much you want to spend, but this would be my recommendation.

Speedcooling.com aluminum radiator

Thanks. At first I was disappointed because I would have bought that if I hadn't already ordered an OEM piece off of Rock Auto. But when I saw it said, "Out of stock", it relieved my disappointment.

I have not heard of many issues with OEM style radiators. Although for such a critical part, I'd likely avoid any super low-priced ones to be safe.

BTW: I have also installed one of the Speedcooling.com radiators. It takes some modification so I wouldn't suggest it unless you have the need for increased cooling capabilities. And even then, it might be better to try out an electric fan first. I put in one of the Speedcooling ones because I tow a boat in some hard conditions. Also note that these radiators do not include an in-radiator engine oil cooler, only one for the automatic transmission.

I didn't even notice that. No big deal. I'm sure the one you got will work fine, and I'm guessing it cost less.
