Default Trustful online vendor for OEM radiator?

My '94 DX needs a new radiator. I was hoping that members here could suggest online retailers where I could purchase a new OEM radiator? Retailers that have great feedback and customer service.

Thank you.

P.S. I was a member on this forum before but I think the system purged me and I needed to re-register.

welcome back to the forum. If you are getting a new oem rad from a dealer, it will be expensive, you can look them up in the internet for reviews. Any radiator shop that has been established for a long time usually has reviews good and bad and you can decide who has the best review.

You may be able to have your rad repaired or rodded out and save some money.

I've been looking at the Murray Heat Transfer radiator at O'Reilly's and also the Autozone's Spectra Premium. Reviews are sorta all over the place. Any feedback on either of those?

Can I honestly expect solid performance out of a $100 OEM radiator? One thing I've noticed is that most of these don't have drain plugs.

Thanks.

I appreciate the reply. Will a refurbished radiator be as good as the O'Reilly/Autozone radiators in the $100 price range? Or is it worth it to just replace it.

Thank you.

By the way, guys, how much would I expect to pay for an original radiator for a '94 DX from a dealer?

Thanks.

Ohh, geez. Of course! I completely forgot about that site. And, I think I've bought from there before. Their price for a rad is $224 by DENSO - I just called them to confirm that it's an original part.
