$$$....I would take yours to a reputable radiator shop. They'll be able to rebuild it for less....unless you need a new core.

You have to admit, that very likely had something to do with the shop that did the work. There should've been at least a year warranty on a rebuild.

all i did was put the gm tablets in it and it stopped the leak....it was leaking in the middle of the radiator.....i had the shop fix the side tanks. So fix one leak then another one will start....old crap...throw it out

anyhow if its still the 82 radiator i would buy a new one.
