Default Radiator

Need a radiator for a 2006 H3. Any suggestions? Are the ones at Advance Auto any good. Need one soon and don't want to wait on shipping.

I put in a Silla in March and am pretty happy with it. I added an external transmission cooler also. Got both off of Amazon. Pretty easy install.

I'm sure the Advance Auto will work, but I'd try to find one that was a little larger, with less plastic, and heavy duty. And I'd install a transmission oil cooler with it.

When something breaks, i fix it..... right the first time, so I do not have to mess with it later. I went with the CSF Racing all aluminum H3 replacement radiator.

Had to modify my PCMofNC Efan to make it happen, but it cools like crazy and it won't get a crack or have any plastic tank cap/base separate from the aluminum cooling fin tank.

Thanks for the replys. I opted for a Spectra Premium CU2855 from Amazon. About $145 and 2 day free shipping if you have a Prime account. Fit just like original except it seems to have a bit more clearance between radiator and frame where most of the cracks come from. I do like the looks of that all aluminum one.

Yes, this is the exact one I was talking about, I just couldn't remember.

I installed a cheap Silva radiator at the 60k mark and now im over 108k.. money well spent, its never failed and I tow 3000lbs a few times a month also. Anything is better than OEM apparently, goodluck!

huntrb, i bought a wrong radiator online. My h3t is manual and it does not have a transmission cooling lines to the radiator. The one i bought had the transmission cooling lines. Do you know if there just a cover to the transmission cooling lines hole in the radiator?
thanks.
