4th gen radiators I picked up a couple of radiators today, one has 262 on the side, the other has 263 on it, what is the difference between them?

Not sure what that number means. Do they both (or either) have trans coolers? Perhaps one is auto (with cooler) and one is manual (no cooler). Or perhaps one is from an LT1 car and the other from an LS1 (core thickness is different).
Lastly, the part numbers were different on the radiator for my '98 vs. my '02, even though both were autos (with cooler), I suspect this was either because of a supplier change over the years and/or because the '02s did not come with a low coolant level sensor in the radiator. Having said that, the part number on the '02 was 52487150. I don't have the part number handy from my '98 but could get it later if needed.
