Default Radiator

My 2000 automatic radiator decided to give out after 20years and 200000 miles. I know everyone here has lots of help. What’s the best direct fit rad that won’t break the bank. Thanks

Assuming your car isn't too far from stock, the factory radiator will be fine.

IMO depends on how long you want it to last.

If I'm not going best quality what I do is search for posts where people name exact brands and show part numbers. Takes time but its nice to not be the first to walk a path or make the same mistakes others have made.

Car is bone stock. Probably going to stay that way. As far as brands that’s why I asked here most of the members here have been long time owners who have had the same problems I am so it would save me time and trouble.

How much trans fluid do you suspect I’ll loose? I started taking the bottom trans line off and fluid was pouring out so I stopped to ask.
