Subject: RE: Plastic radiator tank failure
Bill,
I know it's too late now but for future reference. You can buy after market
relacement radiators that are all metal for approx. $200 and they come with
a lifetime warranty. I had the band that clamps the tank to the core on my
85 Daytona split allowing the raditor to leak. I got an all metal
replacement for $175.00 with the lifetime warranty. Also, the replacement
radiator in my Dakota from the accident last winter is all metal. The
inflated body shop price was $250 but since the insurance company was paying
I did not question it.
