Hello everyone.

First of all, I hope I've posted this in the correct section. Forgive me If I haven't. I'm ok with it being moved to its correct forum section if need be.

Anyways, I own a 01 Nissan Frontier. This car has been great to me since I purchased it used from a buddy just over a year ago. It's fulfilled its job quite well, while sparing me any headache. However, just yesterday my car overheated on me. When I got home I inspected its radiator and found that this part was to blame. It showed signs of leakage and a majority of the fins were severely bent. I know that replacement is my only option at this point, but before I do so, I'd like some advice. I've decided to purchase an aftermarket version online, but don't know which companies are reputable. I've found two that I particularly like but before I buy from one of them, I'd like some sort of verification that they are a legitimate business. I almost never buy anything online so I don't know how to spot a scam, and I can't afford to be scammed.

Has anyone dealt with either of the following companies and can verify that they are a legitimate company? The parts on each site match the OEM number of the part I need.. Thanks in advance.

They are just using the Nissan part # not the actual part.
You might want to try a local auto part supplier for an
after market rad rather than the internet.

Welcome to the group Nick!

It's a good idea to deal with real people that are there for sure and know Nissan parts. These people have decent prices for the real Nissan Parts.

Have you checked out the online Nissan parts catalog Beta site from Courtesy Parts? It includes drawings as well of your vehicle to identify the parts breakdown. Just select your vehicle model and year from the top drop down box on the site, enter a search keyword and then your own your way. Very cool!

Visit Here: http://courtesyparts.com/betasite/

If the link doesn't work let me know!

Have a good one.. Don S..
