Hello,
I need to by a radiator for my Charger.It came with a factory 26 inch.I am not going back original and I want to put in an aftermarket unit.Does anybody have any suggestions?I called Jegs about there units but the tech could not really answer my questions.I need to know if there are any more holes I need to drill,can I attach the factory shroud,does it fit right any without any problems,etc.

I do like the be cool units but they are a little too expensiive for my taste! :yesnod:

Any help would be much appreciated! :icon_smile_cool:

I would keep myself open to other non-alluminum units,but I know the alluminum usuallu cools better.........right?
I am NOT going to spend a GAZILLION DOLLARS on what people want for a factory unit. :eyes:

US Radiator out of California has several levels of cooling capacity.  Year One sells the cheapest one from them (at an increase in price over what you can get it directly from them for).  Their prices are competitive.  They had a website but I havn't visited it lately.  Did take them about a month and a half to get mine delivered.  All copper/brass.  Looks similar to original.  No numbers stamped on it though.

you want to get a Welded rad not an epoxy one , I always mount the rads isolated from the frame of the car on or in rubber  as alum doesn`t flex without cracking

I can't help you with the radiatior, but I called Jegs yesterday and ordered a couple of guages, and the techs were clueless bout that too. When I told them Chrysler they went blank. If you don't have a 350, their tech guys are like deer in the headlights.

Good luck.
