Radiator diffrences in a 2000 Montana

[spaceblonde]

Wel the newest leak is the radiator at the conection to the upper hose which I replaced while in Indy. I saw there is 2 choices the 1 inch and 5/8th ,, I ordered the 1 inch as I do have front and rear ac.

Tell me I didn't make a mistake. I got my good car fixed so this is the last time for this Montana. I love the van but getting tired of monkeying with it. The Radiator is comeing from Rock Auto as they were 60 bucks or more cheaper

Why didn't you measure your current radiator?

I think either one will fit but the 1 inch core is probably the best choice. Before I knew there were 2 different size radiator cores I bought a really cheap replacement one on e-bay. I replaced my 1 inch with a 5/8ths inch and haven't had any issue's. This is on a 1998.

honestly I didn't think about it as I normally just get the biggest I can get between living in Texas and Nevada

but with this van being so goofy about things I figured I would ask. and enough issues going on in my personal life I really truly forgot to check if there was a major size difference.

Why? Why not? I did the same thing on my 2002 Grand Prix and got a larger radiator and that has the 3800 in it.
