Is the core aluminum or brass? If you put an aluminum radiator in a hot tank it'll disappear while you're looking at it.

I wasn't aware they still made brass radiators? Every stock car I've seen has a single core aluminum unit with plastic end tanks.

If the flush is more than $150...just buy a new radiator. My side tanks were both leaking so I picked a new one up for $142. Put it in last Saturday at my buddy's house. It took us a while cause we kept goofing off and crap, but overall, it was pretty easy. If the flush is close to the price of a new unit, you might as well just get a new one.

I am leaning toward just replacing the radiator myself. Looking in the engine compartment I thought it might be a PITA. Based on your report, maybe I will give it a go. I just checked the Napa website and the price was $319!! Where did you get you radiator?

Will do, Larry. They aren't the ones that take forever to ship are they?

EDIT: Crap...just checked and they are $303.
