Why don't you take it to a radiator repair shop and have it re-cored? Then you will have a like new radiator at used radiator prices.

I would find a older radiator shop that knows how to rebuild radiators.

Our old ‘91 coach that we got in ‘18 with 17k miles on it had a corroded radiator. I pulled it out and took to a radiator shop in Ft. Worth who recored for $400.00. Increased rows of cooling from 3 to 4.

Assuming yours is old enough, you can get the same or similar done and have a better radiator than what is being manufactured today.

Haven't found any place that recores radiators. Actually never heard of that but I will do a search. This radiator is plastic on top and bottom.

12500 Generator Needs a Radiator

I found a radiator at Active Cooling Products. Not cheap but it will be a better radiator, no plastic on this one. Thanks for everyone's help.
