replacement radiator for 2006 explorer

[richardodie2]

Has anybody had good results with any make of radiator not leaking in the 2006 explorer, just wondering if my current one starts leaking what one to replace it with.

my brother in law is a mechanic and manager at a chain type garage.. told me they replaced three on three different vehicles with aftermarket radiators at his shop, and they all leaked from some type of disconect fitting that for uses, apparently it cant be duplicated.. ended up using ford stuff on all after all, he told me spend the few extra dollars and use another ford one

Anyone have any luck with Ebay sourced radiators?

I.e.

My 2nd OEM unit is leaking right now.

I have notice a different part# for 2006 Ex V8 and the 2008 - 2010 V8

Even at the dealer the 2006 radiator is $512.00 vs 2010 $265.00
Same engine and transmission.
