Radiator question

[Janice]

I want to get a aluminum radiator for my car. The place i am checking does not list the 3.2, they only list the 3.0 and 3.8. Will it still fit in my car? I am leaking from the driver's side, looks to be at the bottom. Hoses seem to be fine. I figure since I will have to pull the radiator, that I may as well replace it with a new one. I just don't want to order something that won't fit. Appreciate any help. Thanks

Got the question answered. Ordered the radiator. Now I get to learn how to put it in. :woo-hoo:

Not too bad of an install. Remove the fans, unbolt the CCRM from the core support (Black box under the plastic piece with the stickers on it), lay that out of the way. Remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, and the trans cooler lines (5/8" wrench). Unbolt the mounts at the top, then lean it back and get it out. That's the general gist of it at least.

Where did you order your radiator from? All aluminum or just the core?

All aluminum. From Genius. Don't have the link, sorry. Shipped was $138.

Only ones showing up on website are here: http://www.genesisautoparts.com/radiator-ford-taurus-1995-3.2l_v6_196.htm. Maybe a phone call is what's needed at this point in time?

I put one in my 93 ATX and the fitting sizes where not correct for the trans cooler, had to get adapters

Also make sure you mount the radiator to the fan shroud first then mount in vehicle, you will have to modify the radiator mounts on the shroud

You have to click on the all aluminum on the page, at the top.
I just by passed the tranny lines, already had an extra cooler. My friend had all the tools to flair out the lines and to adapt it to where it didn't need to go into the radiator. Also didn't have to mount the fans, because said friend had a grinder and was able to grind the clips down to where it fit in my car with no problems.
