I think I'm asking for trouble by keeping my 10 year old Blackstone radiator in my car through the brutal heat of a Florida summer. Especially since I've already spotted a little coolant on the bottom of the A/C condenser. I'm trying to determine which brand to buy and where to buy it from. I've read a lot of good things about Nissens but also quite a few bad things. I've read nothing about Radtech except they're inexpensive and readily available. I've read nothing but good things about Modine radiators and they're very inexpensive. I also know that the Blackstone that's in there is considered to be a good, if overpriced, unit as long as its replaced at specified intervals (which I'm at).

Please share with me your personal experiences with these brands or others. Also, where to buy them and what else I should plan on replacing when I do this job? What type of coolant should I use?

Thanks
