Radiator

Just bought a new radiator thru speedway auto parts. It's a spectra premium. I had to get a new one because mine cracked at the top neck and along the bottom. I installed the new one today, and it leaks from the exact same spot on the top neck. I tried to solder the last one and it didn't hold. Are these radiators notorious for this? I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I'm to the point where I'm extremely frustrated. Somebody please help!
 
Are your motor mounts junk??

if the motor is flopping around in engine bay it will put un necessary stress on the hoses and such going to the radiator. yes they are rubber but can still pull and cause damage if motor is moving around.
 
How about a new CAP , I go through them every 2 years. I think there made in CHINA. Just for S&G's A new radiator should have a new cap. (key word neck)
 
Thanks guys. She is up and running better than ever. I loosened up the top hose and retightened it, and put a new cap on and no more leaks. Hopefully she stays running good.
