My radiator failed on friday. It may have cracked a tank, it is thoroughly broken now. When I wiggled the upper hose the entire fitting snapped off.
QUESTION: Replace or repair?
I imagine I can have a new tank installed but who is to say in 2 weeks the other side doesn't do the same thing.
I can get a new all metal radiator for a little over $200 delivered. I know they can fix the plastic ones now but seems like a all metal one would be less hastle and cheaper to fix if it ever had a problem (has lifetime warranty.
I need to get some opinions ASAP so I can order first thing. Thanks.
