I would say they are all junk except for a dealer maybe. I have tryed many different ones and they all seam to last 2-4 years then they are junk. Just get the cheapest one you can find or get a real good aluminum one maybe. I get mine from NAPA or whatever.

I have a Readyrad from Autozone in my truck and I've been extremely happy with it. It has copper tanks on it so you won't get failures like the oem with plastic tanks.

I've had good luck with Napa radiators too. Also, I've had good luck with all the parts I've purchased from CarPartsWholesale on eBay.

I just bought an all-metal CRS radiator from autohausaz.com; it arrived THE NEXT DAY and went right into place of the original radiator; no issues! I could use the OEM cap, too.
