Emac33 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Hello all, New to this forum and just have a question about radiators. Anybody recommend a specific aftermarket radiator? I have a small crack in my 1994 SE pathfinder and am looking for a fairly high-quality replacement. Something close to OEM would be preferable, but not too terribly expensive. Thanks for any info you guys have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesRich Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I still have the factory radiator in my old pathfinder but when my Titan radiator cracked I just went to o'reilly auto parts and got one. It came with a lifetime warranty so I figured it would be good enough. Auto zone sold the same name brand too for around the same price.

AlabamaDan Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I just replaced one in my 98. I used a coupon online and bought one from Advance for about 90 delivered with lifetime warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahardb0dy Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I always recommend OSC radiators from Rockauto, they seem to be a good part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY1PATH Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Spectra Premium. Bought this brand for several makes. Every time, Top quality OE FIT and excellent protective packaging. I have spent over 2x on aftermarket performance radiators that got damaged in shipping or plain didn't fit right. Run a bottle of Thermocure through your system after the swap and then flush with distilled water before filling with coolant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emac33 Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share Posted July 11, 2018 Gotcha, thanks for the info guys. Another question, I have a manual, and I noticed there are differences in the radiators due to the auto transmission cooler. Anybody know where I can get a manual type radiator? All the ones I've seen have the two extra outlet things at the bottom, whereas mine does not have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you want to go to the dealer (who will most likely sell you and auto radiator if the manuals are out of stock or NLA) I would just get the one with the auto cooler lines and ignore them. Notice parts sore listings will not say "auto transmission only" It works fine with both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
