Re: battery drain

I had one failed on me once and it's not a pretty sight. It looked like the 
engine blew up then followed by the sweet smell of coolant :) I would 
replace the radiator with a brass one, it actually cheaper than the oem 
plastic/aluminum ones. I paid under $200 for a brass one, I am not sure 
how well it hold up since I sold the car shortly after that.
