Aftermarket Radiator

[Big Blue]

Hey fellas, any one know where to get a quality radiator for my 89TC? I just found out that ford discontinued them. I've had bad luck with every single aftermarket item I've ever purchased so I'm a little afraid to head to the local autozone.

Why do you want a after market raid?

because Ford doesn't make them anymore?

Try Modine radiators, and see if you can get a 2 or 3 core brass one in place of the aluminum/plastic stuff.

If you want a new OEM like radiator try here:

Thanks guys. I ordered one from www.autopartswarehouse.com which is listed as OEM - it hasn't arrived yet, lets see if it is a Motorcraft or not.

Ok, for those of you following this post, I got the radiator. At first it looked very cheaply made but after taking out the old one - it was the same. It was manufactured by the company that made the original ones - Visteon, but it did not have any mention of Motorcraft. Looks fine to me - I'll take it for 150 bucks. Thanks to all for the input! Tomorrow I tackle the steering gear box...

So it got shipped well?

Shipping on a raid would seem to be a bitch

They don't weigh much empty. The boxes aren't all that huge either. Shipping probably not as bad as you might expect.
