Radiator leak
So I have a slow radiator leak....
. A few drops everynight and its annoying the hell out of me. I have found that my 20$ a gallon red coolant is leaking along the top of the plastic shroud the entire length of the radiator. This coupled with the broken nipple for the overflow bottle (plastic nipple was rotted and snapped while replacing my DEGAS bottle) has made me decide I want to just replace it with an all metal rad. I am not looking to spend 900$-1300$ on a radiator and I dont think the 6.0 rad is for me so this is what I have found and wanted to see what you guys thought. (website freezes on my work computer so I am just posting the link for the site). Dieselpowerproducts.com is the site and it is called the Performance Radiator for the 99-03 7.3L powerstoke. The price is $220 and it is an all aluminum rad which I like.
What do you guys think?

All aluminum radiator... if it's a like for like what's not to like?
We used them for racing years ago and they were a whole lot more expensive. I noticed the tanks are still plastic on the spec sheet.
