Radiator Express Radiators any good?

Anyone here have the ALL ALUMINUM 2 ROW, DESERT COOLER from radiator express? Any good? or should I just grab the OEM from the dealer? The OEM part is a bit more but its lasted almost 300k until the top started leaking between the top plastic and the core. I just figured I would look around before I committed. Thanks in advance for any input. --James.

not sure about them but switching to an all-aluminum rad is a worthy idea if the original one is getting replaced anyway. How does it compare in price to Mishimoto? County of origin? Made in USA would be ideal obviously.

i would also replace both rubber hoses while at it.

I think after another look I will grab the Mishimoto aluminum and plastic tank, good price and I will grab the upper and lower pipes too.
