I had an all metal radiator in my 94 SC which had a lifetime warranty from the shop where I purchased it. My second one from them developed a massive leak and dumped coolant while driving a few months back. The shop where I purchased it is no longer in business so therefore the end of my lifetime warranty.
I am now looking for a replacement. I purchased a replacement from a radiator web site for my Ford Expy a couple of years ago (aluminum with plastic tanks I believe) and it has now started leaking.
Are there any radiator suppliers anyone would recommend that make high quality items with a good warranty that aren't horribly expensive and fit well in a 94 SC? I'm not particularly fond of the plastic tanks, but then again I think the original radiator had them and it far outlasted both replacements.
I'm hoping that I got the engine shutdown before any damage occurred. I started hearing ticking and looked at gauges and noticed the temp gauge was almost pegged. This occurred within a few miles of driving (after the car had been sitting for 20 minutes or so). I had it towed home and waited until the next day to attempt to start it to relocate it in the driveway. It seemed to start ok. Hopefully no blown head gaskets or worse.
Thanks
Ted
