Radiator

[Delk]

A few years ago I replaced the radiator in my 2.8 and today I found a small puddle underneath it. Have not climbed under the car to investigate yet but it is damp under one side of the radiator so I am expecting the worst.

What options are there for replacement radiators for the 2.8? I see standard ones with plastic tanks on Fleabay and Mishimoto but they generally get bad reviews for fitment. Mish are more expensive by a good margin but if they work I would be fine with fitment issues as nothing really fits correctly under my car and I can make it work.

I replaced my OEM radiator with a Mishimoto MMRAD-CON-99X Performance Aluminum X-Line Radiator I purchased from Amazon in October of 2018. I have not had any issues with it whatsoever. I also added an aftermarket radiator fan and a lower-temperature trigger for the OEM fan. Recently I added a thermalswitch for the aftermarket fan and deleted a toggle switch I had wired up making that process automatic.
It was not extremely difficult to do the swap but does require some creativity here and there, you do have to come up with an overflow bottle scheme that I have neglected to do but it's my next project. In the meantime, I have had 5 years of troublefree cooling and have the capacity to run fast in the area where I live with no regard to the outside temperature, and since I live in the desert that's a nice bonus
