i'd recommend stock unless you're really hardcore about spending lots of money and making it run all of 10* cooler.

Check out Captn Picard's post about putting in a Griffin aluminum rad. Lots of pics and the costs there. The rad is about 190.00.

Here's the link. https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hreadid=247826
I paid 179.99 from Summit for an aluminum Griffin. A stock rad costs the same or more. Which one would you pick?

every one with the griffen, any one have troubles with the wonder bar and the radiator?
my radiator is leaking slowly, it has the plastic end caps and a aluminum core, that not stock is it? but the core seperated ever so slightly from the end plate. pain in butt!
from what i have gathered from other posts all have have to do is mod the rubber mounts, and make sure it clears the ps and ac hoses, i know i can do this, but if it hits things like the wonder bar then ill pass.
i have the mechanical fan shroud and it is all one piece with the rad mount, is it the same deal where it just fits "tight"
