I ordered a radiator from rockauto. It fit my 95 but the core is only about an inch thick. The original is about 1.5 inches. I put it in the car but the idle temp was about 210. I took it out and put in the correct thickness radiator and the temp went back to below 200. rockauto says the thin radiator is the correct radiator and offered to send me another. Maybe the thin radiator works for a 3.5.
If anyone wants this radiator, it is yours for shipping. I am in California.

Double check their listing for the item and any possibility your car had the ibcorrect radiator in it. Then I'd file a BBB complaint on them and file a credit card claim. I love Rock Auto and they have saved me hundreds of dollars. They just have to stand up and eat it while admitting they don't know what they are selling sometimes.
In fact, please do it for the next guy's benefit.

You can look on the Autozone website and compare '95 radiators with other years, '95s are made thicker, I ordered a new '95 version for my '97. Another glitch at Autozone, '99 Aurora plug wires are a little cheaper than '95-98, but they appear to be exactly the same. I would recommend buying local parts stores on radiators, the lifetime warranties are a lot easier to deal with that way and if you want to keep your car it will be needed.
