Well, put a Champion in mine. (I'm anything but wealthy).
But over the years a number of people on here have mentioned they run a Cold Case. Always good reviews.

Cold Case. Direct fit. They use two rows of 1-1/4" tubes which is what Dewitt's use in their heavy duty premium rads for a lot more money. Cold Case is great value for the money.

Are Cold Case radiators made in the USA? Dewitts are.

Where does the aluminium come from? Not the USA.

Ok,,,,,that "may" be true, I won't bother researching that, but there is more to a radiator than where the bulk material came from. I prefer American made quality parts, even if they cost more.
