We literally just had a discussion of this 2 weeks ago. It's so fresh a simple search would get you answers. Go local, cause if/when it leaks, you can warranty it easier and faster.

Mopar produces a less expensive (heavy duty) OEM quality using plastic tanks.
Not sure how it compares to similar aftermarket radiators. These fit other years, for some reason are only listed under 00-01.
http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/rafr...&parttype=2172
Plastic tank version with alum. core.
MOPAR 5191929AA
101.0" Wheelbase; 4 door; Automatic trans.; W/ ENGINE COOLING - HEAVY DUTY
$128.79
Metal tank versions are significantly higher in price.
MOPAR 52079682AF (I've seen this p/n listed as a copper / brass radiator, uncertain if it's an alum. core. Some of Mopar p/n's switched from copper to alum. cores.)
101.0" Wheelbase; 4 door; Automatic trans.
* Stocked in outlying warehouse--shipping delayed up to 1 business day$263.79
MOPAR 52080104AC (alum. core)
101.0" Wheelbase; 4 door; Automatic trans.; W/ ENGINE COOLING - HEAVY DUTY
* Stocked in outlying warehouse--shipping delayed up to 1 business day$291.79
Link to images of a comparison of heavy duty plastic and metal tank version 52080104AC.
