Can you give any more clues on who made the one you have now? 
If something fails more than once or twice in a row, I go to Ford for the replacement...their radiators also seem to be built quite a bit heavier than aftermarket.

Are you out of warranty with the one you have now? My radiator shop does USA parts and radiators.
Cheap and inexpensive are two different words.
Cheap is never inexpensive, it is just cheap.

Sounds about right price wise, but not for the product you got. I think mine was 225 for a USA radiator. Recore was less but tomorrow instead of today, I wanted mine yesterday.
