Hi everyone,
My truck recently developed a radiator leak, I think it's some sort of hairline crack between the inlet tank and the core. Brought it to a local radiator shop but they couldn't locate the leak as it apparently only leaks while it's cooling down, they just gave me a bottle of "LiquiMoly Radiator Stop Leak Plus" and said "If it still leaks, shake this thoroughly and pour it in the coolant while the engine is cold"... and asked me 130 euros for this.
I've always been quite against these radiator stop leak products because I'm afraid that they could clog some coolant passages within the engine, so I'll probably bite the bullet and get a new radiator...
I'm from Italy so my parts choice is pretty limited, RockAuto would be my best bet, so I looked on it and found a OSC 850 radiator, anybody has had any good/bad experience with said radiator?
EDIT: It's a 2 row radiator from what I read, I don't do any towing/pulling/heavy payload stuff with my truck so maybe 2 rows are enough
Thanks in advance,
Leo
