lmdew Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I got a full aluminum one, about 135. I did post it here a couple of years ago. I forget the brand right now but it was reasonable and great quality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 i've never had a problem with the cheap ones for $80 and $90 but for $135 an all aluminum sounds fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igammie Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 The more expensive ones I found are copper with plastic surround; as opposed to Aluminum with plastic. Not found any with AL surround... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolskaterkid Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I bought one from kragen orielys for about 100 bucks and they last around a year before springing a leak, so ive used the warranty a couple times, the latest one i got from them the atf, cooler connectors came out to far and i had to bend them to get the rad to sit in place, the metal connectors were hitting the frame rail, not really impressed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
