5th Gen Ram 2500 Radiator Issues

[TommyG]

The radiator in our 2021 Power Wagon developed a leak. Ordered a new OEM unit and had it installed only to have that one fail one day later. Anyone had issues or heard about this popping up? It is not giving me a warm fuzzy feeling about having another OEM unit installed. It would be game over if it did this on a trip or in the back country. I was lucky that the new one puked while it was sitting in my driveway and we were able to get it across town to the shop before it lost all of the coolant.

Any suggestions for an aftermarket aluminum unit? I could not find a direct fit for 2021 2500 with a gas motor from any of the usual suspects. I might eat the cost of the one I already bought and go for an aftermarket unit if I could find a good aluminum replacement. Not sure how long we are going to be down while they search for another OEM part.

Did you try Mishimoto Radiators? I know their stuff is expensive, I don't know if the cost reflects quality or not.

They were my first thought when the original went. They do not make a direct fit for my truck and I did not want to mess around trying to make a universal unit fit.
