Heavy dudy I'm not to sure about, I think they only make them for the Ram. But Advance Auto Parts would be your best bet for a good price.

corey,
get out your phonebook and look under automotive - radiators, or it just may be radiators. you can usually call up a number of places and they will be able to outfit you with both stock and aftermarket radiators. I just replaced the radiator on my 92 3.9L with a fullsize metal one. (turns out my previous one had actually lost every cooling fin, causing me to overheat on around-the-corner trips to the grocery store.)
Good luck with your search.

Hey, just wanted to let you know that this leakege is not uncommon. I have an 87 with that sh*ty plastic top, I had the coolant flushed and they couldnt even get a pressure the cap was so bad. Once they put a new cap on they got pressure and antifreeze started leaking out of the top around the sides. Only does it if it heats up very quicly, (IE I drive it hard off a cold engine.)
Let me know what you go with, as i might have to do that. I have however heard you can get it fixed if you want to. Cheaper than a new one.
Let me know how much it cost too.
Good luck!
