Decent Radiator?
I am looking for a decent radiator. Mine blew yesterday, I had 3 tubes with holes in them (with 1 tube being a 1/2 in by 1/2 in hole). I tried to solder them but it didn't work out. I ended up putting JB weld on the holes. Just need something to hold it for 4 miles. We move to a new house on Friday, so I just want to drive it the 4 miles to our new house.
The cheapest I could find in the phone book was $179 with a 1 year warranty. Then I found this on Ebay - 8055273713 - it comes with a lifetime warranty, and the price is the cheapest I have found so far.
Anything cheaper out there anyone has come across, or does this look like the best deal so far?
Thanks in advance.

I support my local supplier if possible. I think you should shop around locally and check all the parts stores. If you buy locally you have someone to talk to if it doesn't fit or there is a problem. The e-bay rad looks fine but when you include shipping and the possibility that you could have a problem it isn't such a good bargan. IMHO!

Call again and ask for Modine brand. It should be in the $165-180.00 range.
Modine is my prefered brand.
If you are running a FE in your truck you can go up to 76 in year model. There is a radiator shop outside of Durham that has great prices on Modine radiators. You might check with the ones in your area.
