Dennis Hackert:
RADIATOR problem, ON MY 2006 PATRIOT, is there a direct replacement available or do I need to rebuild (re-core) ? and while I'm doing this project is there anything else I should do? What type antifreeze should I use?

Paul Meehan:
We replaced our 2001 radiator.  Ordered through Radiator Supply House. 

541 367 2991
1460 47th Ave, Sweet Home, OR 97386

Since we had a rear positioned radiator we replaced or cleaned everything especially the charge air cooler.  Heat transfer transmission cooler, hoses, belts, belt tensioners, thermostat even replaced the water pump.  We ran CAT ELC Premix gallon; 238-8648 as a coolant.  Your engine may require something different.

After all was replaced we ran considerably cooler.

Dennis Hackert:
Thank you Paul for that information.
 I did look up that radiator supply , yikes them rads are expensive (7-9K$).
 I may look into a radiator rebuilder locally that may be less expensive.????

Bryan Beamon:
You might try Source Engineering  in Veneta, Oregon for a price quote as others  have used their services 

Dennis Hackert:
Thank you Bryan,
I will check with them, I am leaning towards a local Rad repair to re-core it.
