Just pulled the radiator out of my truck (the '94). I'm going to see if the radiator shop over on Alondra will replace the cracked tank. I don't know if they do that sort of thing with plastic radiators.

I went the epoxy route already. Cleaned it up, scuffed it with some 60grit paper and it didn't work. It is splitting along the "parting plane" or "mold line".
The tank is attached to the core by tabs, so removing it shouldn't be a problem. Getting the part, as you said, might be a different story.
I guess I'll find out here in a few minutes.

I had to replace one in my '88, same kind of radiator. I don't remember if they wouldn't replace the caps, or if I just chose not to do so. What I remember is that I got a direct replacement with brass tubes and caps, and it cooled better than the aluminum one ever did. Same number of rows, just more efficient.

Happy July Everybody!
The 'Hands Free Cell Phone Law' took effect today. I'm sure this will help LA drivers to be far more safe and considerate on the road.
Of course, with a hands free device you can talk on the cell and reload at the same time. Multi-tasking at it's finest!

this is what i see happening:
cop come up on accident, he says what happened and one person says this lady (or man) just started to come into my lane and hit me.
the the cop asks what she or he was doing... response: i was trying to sync my blue tooth with my phone....
they really said that if you are over 18 you can text but you cant if you are under 18?

$175 for a brand new gay-ron-teed radiator.
Option #2 seemed the way to go - It'll be here in a couple of hours.
