ok, so this weekend, while some people were up here for the gathering.. we noticed a size difference in radiators.. on my 93 ES, I have a thicker radiator than SUTHNR in his 93 R/T.. and Deathsled's radiator in his base Stealth was the same size as the one in the R/T, and being thinner than mine, as well..

what's the deal with different sized radiators??

oh, and all three had different part numbers

you HAD an auto, and the autos have a thicker radiator.

my guess for the SOHC vs. DOHC is that the year is different and there might be slight differences in size??

autos probably have thicker rads becuase they have a trans cooler integrated into them... I know some rads do anyway

When I get to replacing my rediator (maybe soon), I'm gonna make sure I get the thicker on in there. Maybe that'll solve my "internmittent running on the hot side" problem.

ahh, now that I think about it, you guys are right..

or at least that reason makes the most sense

Eric, swap up to the twin turbo radiator. You won't have the un-used auto tranny fittings getting corroded inside that way, and it's plenty thick. I tried using my NA radiator in my car and it ran fine until summer got really hot and I got my AC working. Swapped the TT radiator in and life was good again

Or i think the fluidyne aluminum radiators with slimline fans are available.. I think the turbo 2nd gen dsms use the same radiator as us
