: Need Help. Buying Radiator, but from whom?

Hello Armada enthusiasts, like myself :D

Forgive me if I've posted this in the wrong section.. After all, I AM a newbie :P

Anyways, long story short, my 05 Armada SE Off-Road (5.6L V8) overheated on me just yesterday. Immediately, my attention turned to the radiator, which I suspected to be the cause of the problem. My suspicions were correct, as I found that the radiator showed signs of coolant leakage as well as damaged/bent fins.

Replacing the part is my only option, and I've decided to find a replacement for it online. After doing some browsing around, I've narrowed the list of possible vendors to two:
http://www.go-part.com/0510-nissan-armada-koyo-radiator-a2691-p-21211.html
or
http://www.radiatorspot.com/nissan/armada/radiators.html#MjEyMTE

Being the cautious guy that I am, I don't want to make the next step of purchasing the part, until I'm sure that either of these sites are legitimate. (I've been scammed in the past, so I can't afford to take any more chances)
Has anyone ever dealt with these companies? Thanks in advance.

You may want to check with Stillen. They have an all aluminum radiator, which will be much better than one with plastic tanks.

www.radiatorwarehouse.com I've bought several there over the past many years, they sell CSF brand, who used to be the supplier of the Stillen Aluminum Radiator.
