Did anyone tried full aluminum radiators off ebay?

[*deepinthawoods*]

I think it's time for me to change the radiator, a small leak just started.
I have the original rad since 1998, aluminum with plastic tanks.
Searching on ebay I found full aluminum rads.
Did anybody tried one of these?
Any input appreciated. Thx!

Where are they manufactured?

Good question! They don't say it in the ad.

The original radiator was good enough for 16 years, just sayin'.

I bought one over a year ago. I think I got it from Auto Parts Warehouse, through Amazon. the list price was something like $130, but with points I got it for around $100. it looked and fit exactly like the OE radiator and has worked flawlessly now for well over a year now. if I remember correctly the company name on the box was CFS. i'll see if I can find the receipt. also check Advance Auto Parts on-line and use their coupon codes, sometimes that can save you $50 over their list price.

The radiator I bought was for a 5.0L $130.06 (less points) free shipping and the manufacturer was CFS. i'm totally happy with it.
