Help Me Decide Please!
 

To all Explorer enthusiasts like myself and everyone else in this community, I say howdy.

Just a few days ago, I noticed the radiator on my 06 Explorer XLT (4WD baby!) showed signs of leakage, so I assume it's time to get it replaced. I'm not surprised at this, since this is a salvage title vehicle...

Anyways, I'm a sucker at online shopping. I can't discern between the scammers and the legitimate companies, which is why I'm asking the Explorer community for help. I've narrowed the possible radiator vendors down to two, and now I just need some further help in deciding which is the better option in terms of value, reliability...

Thanks in advance!

Get it local
 

If I were you I would check your local shops. I had to replace the one on my 2000 Eddie Bauer 4 door about two years ago and I was able to get one through Advance Auto Parts for around $200. You can get some great deals online but for something bulky like that it might be easier to get it local. You don't have to deal with shipping, plus I got a warranty, so that if it does go, I can return it locally.

Good Luck,
Randy

I have to agree with Hayseed , he gave you some good advice.
