Also, don't forget to ask...on some of the metal radiators there is a
lifetime warranty...in case this happens again....

Subject: Re: DML: radiator upgrade-will V8 bolt up to V6?
There should not be a problem using a V8 radiator (if there is even any
difference) because the 3.9 and the 5.2 or 5.9 are physically identical
except
for the 2 missing cylinders. the V6 just uses longer radiator hoses and a
longer
fan shroud than the V8.

Also I would go to a reputable radiator shop instead of a dealer to get a
radiator. It may be cheaper and they may have a better selection of
radiators
than can fit on the truck. I would know, I have worked for a radiator shop
for
27 years now!
