I know this has been covered to death but I couldn't find posts with the info I needed. After 160k, I sprung a small pinhole leak in my rad (5.2). It's surviving on Alumaseal but I'd like to replace the radiator with something better. Logic says a thicker core will cool better no matter how many cores; found a place with a 3 core all metal Modine for about 200 bucks but it will take a couple weeks to ship. The other one they have in stock is like the OEM version with plastic tanks but it's a "high flow" heavy duty unit with 2 cores but those to cores are larger than OEM. It's 1.5" thick... anyone know what the OEM 5.2 radiator with tow package was? I'll start checking around different places but my question is who makes a a GOOD 3 row radiator?

Thanks, Mike.
