Radiator Leaking

Radiator Leaking
I had a new radiator installed about 10 months ago.
This past Saturday I found out I have a leak in the radiator.
Have to have a new radiator installed.
Can radiators go bad that quickly?
Here is the one I bought today.

Wanted to go with an aluminum one but they are expensive.
Recommendations / Suggestions?

Did you pressure test it to find the leak or just eyeball it?
I had my Koyo pressure tested by a local radiator shop for $10 and also 'rented' a coolant system pressure tester to test the entire system from Autozone.
To answer your question, It depends why it failed. All aluminum radiators tend to last a long time.

Personally I think you should have just spent the extra cash and picked up a Koyo. They are really not that much more than what you paid for that.
BUT I am also pretty sure I still have my old stocker in the attic and I would have just let you have it if you would have covered the shipping out to yourself...
