After Market Radiators Options

[Lexicon_Devil]

So, I replaced my radiator in my 94 GT for the second time last September
And yesterday I noticed two cracks. One by the cap and one by the top
hose. I threw some JB Weld on the cracks for a temporary fix 'cuz I'm broke
right now. I've pretty much had it with these type of radiators.

Can anyone suggest a decent but relatively cheap aftermarket radiator?
Do they make metal radiators for our cars? I've had nothing but problems.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You can't expect used parts to last as long as new.
This is one reason I buy very few parts used.

Just to broaden your options, Toyota sells radiators for cheaper than they used to.
I don't know if the quality has gone down as a result of the cheaper price or not, and I'm not sure if it's every radiator they sell, or only newer manufactured ones.

Also, the OEM radiators aren't necessarily the best quality you can get, there are better alternatives.

I just wanted to throw that out there.

Yeah, I checked Toyota. Cheaper..but still up there. Do they make steel/metal radiators?
Is there reason I'm going through radiators other than temp?

Thanks for the input.
