Well if you buy online, they usually say if it has plastic tanks and what it is made of. I know that you can ask to see it before you buy it from AZ or Pep Boys. I would inspect it in person if I was buying it locally. Most of the places that sell online will answer all of your questions, and it lets me know that they will stand behind their product. Google 1-800 radiator, do some shopping there is quite a range of good and bad quality radiators out there. Good luck!

Can I ask what you had to pay for it ? I got my 4 row Super Cooler from Performance Radiator for $340 back in '07. I'm sure they are a lot more now as scrap prices for copper are way up from back then.

Most places list the materials used. The one I ordered was listed as a copper core with brass tanks.

If it doesn't list than i would suggest making a phone call to inquire.

Well I got my radiator from autozone about two weeks ago. Couldn't be happier with it. It was exactly as described. Brass tanks with copper core. Total price was $258.
