Find a REPUTABLE Home-Town type old fashioned radiator shop, may be they can clean/replace the core in your original with a quality core for less?? avoid the too good to be true priced crap at the box auto parts stores if at all possible.

I bought mine from a local shop, the 87 year old owner said that there all pretty much made in the same factory. I had a cheap aluminum radiator in my truck when I got it, I wound up breaking the drain valve on it so I replaced it. I have had no issues with my generic radiator in the 20,000 miles I have on it.
