Finding the correct radiator

[rhaase6]

Hello! I picked up my first Ranger, a 1993 with the 3.0l this summer. It's in rough shape, but the price was right! I'm looking to replace the radiator, as the current one is cracked. Trouble is, I've got an automatic transmission and A/C, but all the parts stores I search, online-only and brick-and-mortar show ones for auto WITHOUT A/C or manual. Can anybody point me in the direction of the right radiator? Thanks!

I ordered mine from Rock Auto. Double row with cooler for an automatic trans. Though I think I might have chosen one for a 4.0l auto or maybe an Explorer with auto. Get creative. It had the hose connections angled a little bit differently. But that’s just hose work.

1989 Bronco II eddie bauer Im going nuts trying to find what is supposed to be the REAR window WIPER ARM assembly and the proper bale for that arm.
Ford says discontinued and they have NO picture. They must be a sub part for these OBSOLETE parts or no one has a rear wiper? Makes no sense the
folks that sell bronco and bronco II parts won't look at a picture?
can anyone help with this. I would sure appreciate it!

More Information for GPD 1061C

Measure your old radiator & match that to a new one; some makers+vendors list dimensions better than others.
Do recommend taking the opportunity to swap
out the junk 1CorePlasticTanked Radiator and upgrade to a 2\3\4CoreAllAluminum Radiator;
the additional capacity will NOT create an operating problem as long you have the correct temperature rated ThermoStat.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the input everyone. I'm really looking to see if anyone can say definitively that a particular radiator (maybe the GPD 1061C) fits a truck both with an automatic transmission and air conditioning. There are so many options that specifically say they're for trucks without A/C, I just want to make sure that one that doesn't specify (like the GPD) will work for me.

I bought a 2-row from Rock Auto, works great in my 4.0 '97 (with auto and a/c). Dropped right in.

AirCon condensor coil is seperate & mounted in front of engine coolant radiator; pick+wash condensor clean while radiator is out.
Just make sure new radiator has the same connection sizes & locations (barbs for coolant hoses, ATF tubing\hoses, etc),
that the top+bottom channels are the same depth so that old fan shroud fits,
& that it has the same\more capacity 1\2\3\4Core.
If swapping out a stock 1\2CorePlasticTankedRadiator to a 1\2\3\4CoreAllAluminumRadiator,
the MINI standard RadiatorFillNeck+Cap will likely be replaced by a slightly larger SAEA standard RadiatorFillNeck+Cap.
In any case, best to buy+install a new Cap with new Radiator & coolant.

Just order it from Rock Auto. I did after having the same problem.

Thanks for the advise, everyone! I ordered the ULTRA-POWER 1164 from Rock Auto. The core is thicker than stock, but everything mounts up and works perfectly.
