Just went outside and checked. My radiators crappin out. The p.o. used an electric fan and rigged the mounts. It crushed some of the fins and sure enough...it leaks. Anybody know the cheapest place for a NEW 4 row radiator.

if you want a "temp fix",you can snip the leaking fin,bend the opening back on its self and solder the ends,,,,,,,again this is tempoary

I've always had good luck with Bar's Leaks. Saved me from having to cut a car in half to change the heater core.

got my last 2 from radiator express. Was satisfied. watch out if you have heater hose going into radiator as you have to look around to find that one. Most don't have the heater hose hook up.

Radiator.com is where i got my brand new 4 core a couple weeks back. It was $139 plus 8 dollars shipping and handling, then some tax for a grand total of 153 something delivered to my door the next day. It's got a year warranty but you can get one with a lifetime warranty for not much more
