Have a leak in the radiator on my 1993 Chevrolet Suburban 4x4. This is a
composite aluminum-core/plastic-tanks radiator. The leak appears to be in
the seal between the left tank and the aluminum core. Coolant is wetting
the back side of the aluminum core on the rear face all the way up and down
the seal.
Do they rebuild these things or does the plastic warp so that re-sealing is
a bad gamble?
Are there all-metal radiators available?
It looks like I am not going to have a lot of problems with the R&R. Are
there any gotchas or tips for the R&R?
