It's a faily nice radiator, aluminum dual row. I picked the one from
Rockauto that showed it as aluminum and that was marked for the 5.2L,
they had others marked "V6" that I suspect might be single row.
I hate working on the cooling system... I keep looking under the truck in
a paranoid manner looking for puddles. That and the whiff of burning off
antifreeze keeps freaking me out, as I never know if it's just a little
spillage from draining/filling it or if something sprung a leak!
It's SO NICE being able to use the A/C again... I need the Taurus fan
installed though since it's pretty weak when sitting at traffic, but
freezes me out when I hit the highway due to the added airflow.
