Reply to "Radiators?"

I looked into having my stock radiator re-cored, and it was $400+. Not cheap, but for longevity, it would probably work fine. I'm not sure how long an aluminum radiator will last, but since many oem radiators are aluminum, maybe it wouldn't be too bad. The radiator shops tell me that the oem aluminum radiators are different than the aftermarket radiators, but I have forgotten how. It seems like it was something to do with the alloy and the design. The radiator shops also recommend a rebuilt stock or brass-type, and don't recommend aftermarket aluminum radiators for street-driven cars. (I admit that they're biased to what they sell) If I'm not driving the car much, there's still corrosion potential, but it's much less than your grocery-getter. I could see how a car like our Panteras that don't see 10k miles per year could be fine with an aluminum radiator.
