    I read some of the reviews and see what you mean. Almost 40% give them the lowest rating of 1*. A lot of 5* but almost nothing in between. And they don't even say what year they started so must be quite new. Their responses to postings are also quite nasty
     
    Adamali21 Thanks this.

    If someone sold a conversion kit then I would say, sure go ahead. You try on your own then you are likely to run into so many issues with the connections. I would call this place. They can manufacture (cost ??) for discontinued and obsolete and have 12 locations across the USA. They also do repair.

    If you don’t convert it, you’ll be in the same jam again, if the new one gets damaged. I’m wondering why it’s different. Nice set up, allows cleaning the front without removing the cac. Maybe it’s a design used for construction or dirt work? Need a vin # from another similar truck with standard radiator. Take it to Dealership, compare all part #’s get prices, decide which parts are dealer only, find out if they’re available. Might need a different bottom and top support brackets. Might have to look online for used parts. Whatever it takes, should be possible. Need a vin#. Dealerships Parts department are useless without a vin. You can get a printed copy of all the parts and corresponding numbers, in an exploded format from their computer.
