Pro and con's of these 2 radiators.. I attempted to search but this stupid tablet would not even pull up the search option.. This would be used with OEM hoses.. Any info/help on these would be greatly appreciated.

if there's nothing wrong with the truck? OEM

just over $600 wholesale, and, again, if nothing's wrong with the truck, there's no reason they shouldn't go 300k+ miles :confused:

Peter is a cool guy, they are made in the US and always seem to hear about Mishi's leaking. Alradco!

Pretty sure he asked for opinions on the two, we know stock can last.

Mishimoto has revised there's and it is certainly better now. This revision really was to compensate for issues some trucks have, causing their design to fail.

With that being said, I will still go Alradco for the next customer and our personal trucks

Understand. Often people ask about aftermarket parts due to an assumption that OEM is inferior.

Was just making sure he knew OEM can last. :)

Mishimoto makes some great stuff. It sucks that the 6.4 radiator gives them a lot of trouble but I don't get why they never fail to leak. Mine lasted 6 months.

Go with Alradco.

Got a mishi since they came out. No issues.

Oem can last that long??? Maybe if you don't drive the truck lol.
I wouldn't pay 600-1000 for an oem piece of **** rad...that's just my opinion of course
