 New Radiator | Joined: Oct 2011 Posts: 69 journeyman | OP  journeyman Joined: Oct 2011 Posts: 69 | So i need to get a new radiator for my 91 G20 5.7 and it's proving more difficult than i thought. Finding a radiator with engine oil cooler is expensive and hard to find (aka not at autozone). Because they have them available without engine oil cooler, is it necessary? I don't tow anything but i don't want to put undue stress on other areas to save a few bucks and get it done quicker. Also, plastic w/ aluminum core or brass/copper? What does Cooling w/MAX Cooling mean?
thanks

I have tried 2 off the wide tube single row aluminum radiators (Spectra brand) and have had issues with over heating with both. I'll buy nothing but copper/brass if at all possible from here on out.

I also checked with a JY on other side of Mt they have none.

I think it's on page 2 or 3.
