All I want to do is buy a new radiator for my 83 Power Ram with a 2.0 in it.Sounds easy enough.My stock radiator that is bolted to the stock location in the truck measures 23 1/2"wide and 14 3/4" tall.That is the core dimensions only. tank to tank,flange to flange.Any parts place shows a much narrower and a little taller radiator is supposed to fit in the truck.NAPA actually shows the exact one that I need, but the 2 that they ordered in are the narrow ones everybody else has that wont fit.I called a radiator shop with the correct dimensions of mine and they said that those dimensions are for the diesel truck.WTF!!So I went back through all of the parts dealers and entered the turbo diesel motor, but nobody stocks that radiator.I F'ed my rad up by pouring in some of that head gasket repair shit in a can into it and stopping it up.The rad shop recommended replacing it because they said that crap in a can sets up like concrete and didnt think they could rod it out.Suggestions?? Anybody??
If you love something, set it free. If it comes back to you it's yours to keep.If it doesn't come back, hunt it down..and kill it
