3d radiator wtf?
I have replaced my radiator two times over the past 6 months, and 3 times in the past 15 months old. So 3 radiators in less than 2 years...I cant obviously keep affording to replace them, and they all seem to be leaking in the same spot...nothings hitting it, the raditor cap is for the truck..I just don't get it, my last leak happened randomly while I was under it working on my truck..Any ideas?

Well new..it wouldn't be costing me so much if they were used. The first one a mechanic replaced, the second I bought from Advance Auto parts, and the 3d one was under warranty from Advance, so I got it for free, but if this one blows too, then I will be down another $165.

I would check for radiator support flexing and vibrations before I kept throwing radiators at it.

Hmm.....you bring up an interesting point...I did notice that there were no rubber support bushings under the radiator to help dampen blows from the bumps...that would f'ing explain it probably
