Radiator lifespan question by
[email protected]
My wife had the radiator in her '91 GMC replaced just a couple of years
ago. Its starting to leak now and the mechanic is trying to convince
her that she should only expect a couple of years out of a radiator.
Shouldn't a radiator, rebuilt or new, last a lot longer than that?
Thanks
