Hi,
I took my radiator to a local shop and they put the heavy duty
(original) 4 row core in the radiator, pressure tested everything,
and charged I think close to what i would pay for a new one (if they
are available now)from TRF. i did this for fast turn around mainly. this
worked out fine for me and was finished in a day. the thing works awesome.
just make sure to go to a good trustworthy shop.
