My rad was not leaking however I decided a few weeks back to replace it anyway given the age.

I want some peace of mind on the road knowing I won't be stuck beside the road with a crappy issue like a leaking rad.

I went with a Koyo unit for $240 CDN.

The old rad looked really long on the tooth once out of the vehicle. Replaced all the hoses at the same time... and thermostat.
