I haven't driven my Ranger for years because it needed so much work ($$$$) but I want to get it back on the road before winter. The radiator has a slow leak from the tank/core seam that I tried to stop with some product I don't remember. No go there. I flushed the system Friday and tried to put in the radiator I got at Advance here in Denver and it didn't fit. I tried four more from Advance, Auto Zone and Napa and all of them have the same problem. The flange on the pressure cap tank that slides into the rubber cushion on the radiator support is crooked on all of them. I could force it down but that would stress the tank. Not good. Has anyone else had recent problems like this? I tried to order one from Rock Auto but they can't ship to Denver because of some sales tax issue. Thanks.
