Thanks for the lesson on jb weld. I've never actually used it, but have heard many people make reference to it for various applications. Does it come with instructions on how to make it bond to plastic? I'd imagine that the area would have to be roughed up, and clean. This does sound like an out of the vehicle repair. I guess if I'm going to pull the rad, I should just replace it.
My X has A/C (that doesn't work), and according to ADP Hollander the following rads will interchange:
EXPLORER 91-94 AT, w/AC
RANGER 90-91 6 cyl, AT, 2-1/8" thick
RANGER 92-93 6 cyl, AT, w/AC
Are there any other rads that will bolt in? Like from an Aerostar, or a second Gen X?
EDIT:
I was just thinking if I could find a copper/brass rad that would be great. Years ago I used to work in a radiator shop and I have done many re-cores. IMO they are way better quality than plastic/aluminum crimped together ones. Are there any vehicles that use copper/brass that would fit? I'd be fine with relocating the hose connections. How many rows of tubes would I need?
