I'm about to break down and farm out some work. All I need is to have the thing re-sealed: All brass replacement, about 6 (?) years old. I re-soldered it 2 years ago, just don't have the time or disposition to do it again.
Any recomendations for a local shop?

Thanks Ceet!
This is for the Taurus actually, that's why "all brass" was stuck in my brain. LOL It cost my sister around $200 when she owned the car.
Things have calmed down enough for me to start calling. Just wondered if anyone recently had service they were happy with.

I have re-soldered my share of old ones. After some time they work harden and you are basically S-O-L. That's the main reason I'll turn it over to a pro; less worry.
A good shop can basically re-make the whole thing, leak test, and guarantee the work. Right now that sounds very appealing to me.

Hypoid, I have a 98 Taurus and just replaced the radiator. My daughter rear-ended someone and smashed up all the front end parts. I got a radiator from a pick-n-pull for $25. I took it over to a small radiator shop here in town (Colorado Springs) and he checked it for leaks for me for nothing. It took him about 5 minutes. There are tons of them in the junkyards.
qman, did you use Manly Radiator shop, that old guy is pretty nice? Theres another small shop over on Union blvd it says "A great place to take a leak", no kidding.
