I’ve used the Summit Racing in-house brand s couple times. I was very happy with the fit and quality

Check out Champion Radiators.  Good price.   I’ve used Griffin for custom but you pay for it.

I ran a mishimoto in my Nissan and it was worth the cost. Their warranty is similar to vortex for any failure they’ll replace it even if you run into someone. Their welds are super clean.

I’m happy with mine from https://www.mishimoto.com/automotive/aluminum-radiator-performance.html

Yeah a little out of my price range.

I have some Mishimoto stuff on my Ford, I think it is worth the money for the build quality.  Welds look like they were done by a robot.  We're not talking a door stop here, it needs to contain the pressurized coolant for a very expensive engine.  What is your price range?  A mishimoto for your truck looks to be in the $875 range.

Those 04 Cummins are no good. As an act of charity if you sign the title over to me I'll come.dispose of it for you at your earliest convenience  :chuckle:

I have two dodges I ran the Miss YMoto radiators in. I’ve replaced them three times under warranty so far. Warranty was OK but wasn’t impressed with how it held up in the truck. They would always leak where the fins went into the side part of the radiator. Ended up just buying a cheap one and throwing it in my truck after the last one went bad. Won’t be using them again

That’s completely ridiculous for the price of them.🤯

Heard of several issues with them awhile back on the Duramax forum also.

 YMMV, never had a issue with mine!
