Maybe the copper radiators need to be thicker walled due to the fact that its a much lower strength material than aluminum. Just a wild guess, I really don't have a clue.

On another note, I put an aluminum/plastic Nissens in my 92 745T because I couldn't find an all metal one for my 92 which is different from the 91 and earlier models. I did this because I trust the design to last ~10 years and based on what I've read, I trust Nissens quality. Mine works fine, I can't tell the difference. BTW, the rad that I took out looked fine but I couldn't determine if it was original or not and didn't want my wife and baby stuck on the side of some remote country road in the middle of the summer without me.
