Heh! I FINALLY found someone who feels the same way I
do. In spite of the "catatrophic failure" arguement,
I can't find any fault in a part as stressed as a
radiator doing 10+ yrs. and 150k+ miles. I've
replaced 3 so far with OE and would do it again in a
heartbeat. At $160. I think it's a bargain. AKG all
the way!
