Plastic?? Are you sure you don't mean copper or aluminum? My 97 has
aluminum and the only drawback I noticed is that it takes a little longer
to start throwing heat on cold mornings. Of course when it's -30 or lower
as it can get here in Minnesota, those few minutes are important.

Subject: Plastic Radiator??

Geeze, I must be out of it.

From what the Dodge dealer here in Phoenix just told me,
my TWO AND A HALF YEAR OLD plastic radiator has a split
in it. So...I can either pay $525 for a new PLASTIC radiator
or I can get an aftermarket cast iron one for $364 (this is
all parts only). In the desert, plastic has a crappy shelf
life, so the fact that it got brittle and split isn't a
big surprise. I'd rather not do another two years only to
have to replace the overpriced cheapo plastic radiator
(assuming I have the truck that long), so...

Can anyone give me a good reason NOT to go with the cast
iron version?

TIA.
