  • Not a precise fit. It fits, but there are some changes you need to make.
The outer case is the same dimensions, so it fits the same mount as original. The reason for my four stars on "Easy to Install" is because I had to make a parts run. The rubber U-Gasket from the original is a very tight fit but it works. My original had slots for the transmission cooler to slip into, this one used body speed nuts, with the cooler going over them. The cooler has holes that line up but you are going to have to purchase two M8-1.25 x 20mm to attach it. The cooler lines are "located" using tabs but not locked in as in the original. The oil cooler fits the same. The shroud body nut on the driver's side needs to be replaced by the correct (M8) body nut. The one that comes with it is an M6. This is not a big deal but can be annoying if you've already installed the radiator. Otherwise, pleased with it. Hope it lasts awhile. ... show more

  • Perfect fit
It was just as described. Fits great and no leaks only downfall a couple of the bolt tabs were in the wrong spot. And had to find bolts for the tans cooler as it slid in the factory radiator this one needs bolted in.

  • Truck is Running Now
When my son's truck started smoking while he was driving, he had to park it and call a tow truck to take it home. Once home, the process of diagnosing and repairing the truck's issue began. He replaced the fuel pump first. He then understood that he required a thermostat. As there were still problems, it was time to change out the radiator. This is the most affordable option for the one he needed, according to his research. It arrived approximately a week after he placed his order. Changing out the radiator is not too difficult. The only real issue we had was the different bolt size at the top of the radiator, but as the bolts are only held in place by clip-on's, all that is required is a simple exchange of the clips from the old radiator to the new one. Everything else was correct on the radiator. After being installed, the truck is operating like a brand-new truck once more, and he has had no further problems. ... show more

  • Fit very well but trans cooler will use bolts
The radiator was a near perfect replica of the factory unit (2005 Ram 4.7L 2WD). The trans cooler mount will require 2 bolts as the 2 tabs on the right side won't fit in the slots on the radiator. See pic
