One of the radiators is leaking trying to figure out what its called so i can replace it...there looks to be 4 radiators. Im guessing there is a transmission and oil cooling system. If anyone can breakdown the names of the 1st 2nd, 3rd and im guessing the back one is the actually radiator. Thanks

The one closest to the cooling fan is the engine radiator, that's the only one with coolant running through it.
The other three are the AC condenser, transmission cooler and intercooler. The trans cooler would leak ATF, distinguishable from coolant as it's an oil. The AC condenser might have oil residue if it leaks but doubt anything would drip on the ground. The intercooler should only handle air.

On the `13 & `14 cummins 6.7 they have 2 rads with engine coolant. 15+ went back to single rad. If you see a y in the coolant piping you have dual rads. Those y's have a reputation for developing leaks
