Re: to repair or not.
take your rad to a shop and get a quote. It would be kinda retarded to replace it if it only has $50 of damage.

Normally i would do that, but i would have to drive 100 miles round trip just to take it out to get a quote. Not to mention if they cant do it while i wait. But im thinking that would be the best thing to do anyway.

But, first, I'd give this shop a call to see if they carry any replacement parts in case yours is totally gone. Then ask if they could do it in one day. Some years back, I had a local repair shop convert my 2 core to 3 core all in one day for around $80. They stocked replacement cores. |

Re: to repair or not.
Unless you're a tourist in Branson, you do have a round trip to somewhere to get just about anything..
I bought an aftermarket 4-row core radiator for my truck for about $130, several years ago. When I was trying to get the transmission cooler lines connected, I got one of them gill-flirted and used an aftermarket transmission oil cooler. Mounted it in front of the A/C condenser. Last 4-row core re-core I had done (the only one, too) cost me $150. I still have the 4-row core (Originial radiator) that I pulled out to install the new one.
