Default 2000 2500 sub 4x4 Radiator?

I have 2000 suburban 2500 4x4 with the 6.0 motor. My radiator is leaking right below an upper fitting for either the oil cooler or tranny cooler(there are 2 fittings on each side) I am trying to find the part number so I can match it up with an aftermarket one since funds are low right now. Does anyone know where the part number may be stamped? Also how do I tell if it is a one or 2 row? I do tow a 4000 lb. Boat so I know it had the trans and engine oil cooler. Any suggestions where to look and any things that I need to be aware of when I fix it? I am also thinking of switching from dexcool to green when I do the swap.
Thanks

Bud, I work for coolestradiator.com and we carry your radiator. It is going to be ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT quality with a lifetime warranty, free shipping, no tax. Do you have an auto or manual. http://coolestradiator.com/search_re...eywords=432306 is for the automatic and http://coolestradiator.com/search_re...eywords=432304 is for the manual. Call NICK (me) at 1-405-235-1535 if you have anymore questions.

If you change back to green antifreeze, make sure you have all of the Dexcool flushed from the block, heater core(s), & tranny & oil coolers. I've read some horror stories about mixing them.

Would it be ok to go from a 1 to 2 row? My trans cooler reads around 180-190 most of the time especially when it is hot. It does seem to be a 1 row for sure.

While a two row won't hurt, if the fluid also goes thru a cooler in the radiator, it will not get a whole lot cooler as the radiator will run about 200*.

200 temp on a trans is ok. you just don't want to get much more than that.
