I have 5 vehicles and a trailer insured with Hagerty. Vehicle srange from a CJ-5 to a M925A2. Been with them since 2008, never had an issue with them.

I have a aluminum and plastic radiator in my M1008. I have driven the truck (towing a trailer) across the US two and half times. Most of it in 90+ temps.
So far no issues with it. No clue where I purchased it from, possibly Auto Zone.
