Radiator?

I have a 97 Chev Venture, and I need to replace the radiator in it. However, I don't know for sure which one I need. I have the upgraded towing package in it, so therefore, I need a radiator with an oil cooler. I just called the local dealership and they said that all the info they can get is a part number, no specs. The same thing with any of the parts stores in town. They have a few specs such as size and how many rows, but nothing about an oil cooler. Does anyone have any suggestions on this? I would like to know A) where can I find at least a part number of a radiator with an oil cooler so I can cross-reference it, and B) does it matter if I put a radiator in that does not have an oil cooler? PLEASE HELP ME! Thank you.:banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

a chevy dealer should be able to tell from your vin # and your rpo codes which is for your van

I assume you are talking about the transmission fluid cooler, correct? If this is the case, I would install the OEM radiator PLUS an aftermarket cooler. Check Pontiac Montana's forum here; some people have provided some very nice descriptions (with pictures) of such installation, parts, etc.

According to the dealership, they dont get any info other than the part number. So, dealership is out for help. I will have a friend help me look at the cracked one and see what we can get that is close. Im just glad im not loosing too much fluid...yet.

In 1997 the Ventures only had 1 radiator choice. There was no engine oil cooler in it just the transmission out cooler GM part #52472865 but it is discontinued the AC Delco #20862 the core size is 30 5/16 x 15 x 7/8" and the code is BCG on your old radiator.
