NICE fitment 2003 Ford Ranger 4.0L with Manual Trans.
Fits 2003 Ford Ranger 4.0L with Auto. trans. OR Manual trans. Advance does not specify or qualify that in lookup but I find it to be (even though 1 reviewer claimed shroud would not fit as he had M.T. on his vehicle which he did not specify year, make, model, engine). Shroud should fit so just leave cooler ports plugged if you have M.T. and you are good to go. If you are a novice, now would be a good time to get yourself a remote cable hose clamp pliers to ease spring clamps off & onto the plastic inlet and outlet. You may want a small worm screw clamp for the reservoir tube as the hose may have taken a slight set to old neck fitting. Now is a good opportunity to flush coolant and install new hoses, thermostat, and radiator cap as required. Again, new radiator cap not included with radiator but old should fit. JON-HEY/ USA

Don't waste your money...
I chose this radiator for my small truck because it was what AAP had and my stock radiator was leaking. The FIRST time I replaced it the new one started leaking within the first 2 weeks. Took it back and exchanged it for a new one and chalked it up to a defective part. No problem. Installed the SECOND one and now a year later, it is leaking again...somewhere around where the plastic holding tank seams up with the aluminum. Save your money, time and aggravation by getting a different brand. Look for Spectra or Visteon.

Hi Steve, I'm glad to help you! We can only look up by the vehicle. Since you didn't mention the specific vehicle, it's hard to tell for sure. To give you the correct information I would need the year, make, model and engine size of the vehicle.
Do you have a cheaper one

Hi Hotrod, I'm glad to help you! This CARQUEST Radiator (Part #431384) has a limited lifetime replacement warranty. The limited lifetime warranty part can be refunded for cash/credit within the 90 days time frame. After that time expires, it can only be exchanged for a new item. So the warranty is valid for the life of the part as long as the customer owns the vehicle.
