Dave, I hate to hear the news man :( I don't think the overheating problem
was due to the fan (unless the deep water shorted it???) I think we put the
connections up high enough to stay dry... I just got back from the outer
banks, put a LOT of strain on the motor and it never got above vertical on
the idiot gauge (210ish??)

try calling performance radiator... that's what we use at work and most of
the metal/plastic stock radiators are all metal from performance...

-OK, so now that my radiator needs to be replaced (see previous
-thread), I was
-wondering if there was a heavier-duty radiator that I could bolt
-in place of
-my stock Gen II V6...say the radiator for a V8? or a heavy duty
-radiator? I
-need to order tomorrow AM, so any input appreciated. My last radiator blew
-up, am hoping to find a replacement that has more cooling capacity...
-if a v8 radiator bolts up, do the hoses still line up? Anyone?
-
-The dealer has 2 radiators listed for a 96 dakota: standard and
-heavy-duty.
-Apparently the heavy duty includes lines for the transmission or
-something. I
-don't have the heavy-duty cooling package, but would be interested in the
-raduiator if it had extra cells, even if I have to seal up any
-extra lines to
-it? Does anyone have a v6 heavy-duty that could tell lme how many
-lines are
-hooked to it?
-
-suggestions?
