Best brand of replacement radiator?

Post by Bonneville'sRock »

Greetings! It looks like we need a new radiator for our 95' Bonneville SE (165k)...(leaks)... Anyone have good luck with a particular brand of replacement radiator? Any advise with this project? Thanks,

If you get a Murray brand (mine came from Oreilly's) the drain plug
is cheap plastic and mine leaked from day 1. I had to buy a new
plug for it, which they sell, but it leaked as well. I then had to rig it so it
wouldn't leak. Needless to say, it is no longer a functioning drain plug.

A OE ACDelco unit from Rockauto or Amazon

Good quality, fair price, and lifetime warranty.
