You might be able to take the old radiator and have it rodded, it should stop the corrosion inside of it. You can take it to any radiator shop and have this done. Just remember to use the green not the orange next time.

They remove the endtanks. Then pass a rod through the coolant passages to clear out crap.

That sound right?

I didn't think theycould rod a plastic rad. That's why you buy brass.

Anyone tell me if I'm wrong?

Man spend the extra $100 and get a fluidyne (I swear I am not their spokesman ) But for real it is worth it for the top-of-the-line. And its a direct fit so you can change it yourself with ease.
