Re: LT.carguy has a leak

New ones are fairly cheap any more, and a nearly 15-year old used one may not be any better than what you have, could be thin, weak, plugged, etcetera. Then there's the problem of finding one that doesn't have front end damage.

I've found that unless you have a brass/brass or fully aluminum radiator, it doesn't even pay to repair radiators any more. The aluminum/plastic radiators are more or less disposable. Radiator shops WILL work on them, but it's not economically advantageous.

You can get a new single core radiator for under $200, and a double-thick core radiator for under $300.
