I have a 87 Dodge Ram /6, 225, auto, The radiator is leaking from the bottom. Can this be JB welded? If not, What other radiators are interchangeable? I heard some Ford's maybe Jeep. Thanks

You can have it tested at the radiator shop. I have a V8 radiator in the Dart. Just had to use a flex hose. Don't ask where it came from! It was in it when I bought it.

Last spring, I had a leak in the bottom of my Volare's radiator. I tried JB Weld, but it didn't work. Maybe if I had taken the radiator out first...
Anyway, I just used a bottle of leak repair from Bar's. It fixed it right away.
The rad in my Volare is out of a Volare station wagon that had a 318. Being that you have a pickup, you probably have room for a bigger rad.
