Hey folks.
So, my radiator has developed a leak a bit ago, and I'm looking to replace it. The radiator is a copper/brass 3 row Modine radiator.
Yesterday, I ran by the same place to buy another Modine radiator. I was pleased with the quality, and never had any overheating issues. Well, Modine has gone bankrupt, and there was another automotive supplier located in the same building, so I picked up one of their radiators. The radiator I picked up is made by CRS, and has an aluminum core with plastic tanks and metal side supports and is a single row (which I didn't notice at the time).
Anyways, is the difference between a single row, 2 row, or 3 row pretty significant? I've done some searching, and some people say a 3 row is the best, but others have said a 2 row is better since the passage ways are larger than the 3 row. Either way, it looks like a 2 or 3 row is a lot better than my single row.
Also, there seems to be a debate on whether or not the aluminum cores cool better than the brass cores. Can anybody shed some light on this?
I was looking at returning it and picking up one of these:

Thanks folks.
