Radiator replacement

I found out where i am losing coolant. Is there anyway to weld the radiator to fix it, or am I better off replacing it? Does anyone have any experience with an aftermarket radiator, the gm replacement is $280 and I can get one online shipped to me for $150. Thanks for the advice!

RE: Radiator replacement

Some rads can be welded. It mainly depaends on where it is leaking from. If its comming from a water neck, you can.

RE: Radiator replacement

you could but your deffinately better off putting a new one in. aftermarkets have the same design to them as an oem one just not made by gm.
