Getting the Wheeling Fever
I need a new radiator for my monty, and I'm trying to fogure out where to get one. I don't want to get a cheapo plastic replacement. Radiator barn will sell me a all metal 2 row for $186, is this my best bet? Is there a three row available for the V6 (I know the 4's get a three row but the fittings are different).

Nevermind, I had a closer look, it was leaking where the lower hose went in. I cleaned up the connection and used a hose clamp (there wasn't one) and it's fine now. bullet dodged!

AFAIK, there is no available radiator as well-made as the OE one. Also, AFAIK, there is no aftermarket radiator available for the 3.0L with a 3-row core. Radiator shops do have available to them (from their suppliers) a 3-row replacement core that they can use to convert your raqdiator to a 3-row unit. Conversion cost should run $150-$200 IIRC.
