Hello!
I just had the plastic reservoir portion of my radiator crack and start leaking and I need to get a new one. Only problem is I have no idea where to begin to look as I always seem to have trouble finding the correct part for my ranger. I have a 2004 manual Ford Ranger XLT FX4 and all the radiators I seem to look up have a trans cooler, I do not need a trans cooler as my truck is a manual and the current radiator installed does not have ports for a trans cooler. I was wondering if anyone had done and aluminum radiator swap and if they just didn't use the trans cooler ports or if they bought one specifically without one. If anyone has done this could you please provide me with a link to the aluminum radiator you bought? Also, if you did do the aluminum radiator swap, was there still room for the mechanical fan or did you need to swap to an electric fan? Please let me know if you guys have the answers, thank you!
