Does my "98" 420a w/automatic transmission Sebring have the same radiator as the 95-99 Eclipse.  The reason being is that I can find a lot of racing radiators for the Eclipse but can not find any for the Avenger/Sebring.  I think my radiator kicked the bucket this morning (have not got a chance to check it out yet) so I might as well go with a bigger radiator if I have to replace it.

They should fit.  And if they don't all you have to do is move around a couple of brackets to make it fit.

Turns out that I do not have a bad radiator, surprisingly I have either a blown head gasket or a cracked head.  My car surpassed 100,000 miles about two months ago and that morning that I mentioned above was the only time that the water temperature has ever been at a danger point.  So tell me what you think, would y’all think that my head would be cracked or has seen warp age.  I started seeing temperature problems at around thanksgiving; the temperature gauge was very sporadic and would go up about a quarter of an inch and drop back down to normal conditions.  First thing that I done was changed out the t-stat, followed by the hoses, then timing belt and water pump, then the drive belt thinking that maybe the belt was slipping and the t-stat again.  The radiator was changed out 14 months ago.  The weird thing to me about it being a cracked head or head gasket failure is that I have not seen water in the oil, no moisture out of the tail pipes and the car run fine with no hesitation.  What do you guys think?

That's odd.  I don't really know what to say to that.  If you don't have any coolant getting into your engine, but you gasket is bad or the head is cracked, I'm at a loss.  I guess pull the head and have it pressure checked.  If the head tests out fine, then put a new gasket on.  If the head is junk, get a new one (used) and replace the gasket anywyay.
