Repair or Replace Radiator

Hello everyone my radiator has a pretty good size hole in the radiator just underneath the reserve tank. My question is should I try to get it repaired or just go ahead and replace the radiator? Has anyone had luck with a radiator being patched?

I would replace it.

 

I'm sure you could get a Fong Ho replacement for cheap. I doubt it's fixable anyway.

Thats what I was thought better to just go ahead and get it replaced than try to get patched, well there goes $300 that I was planning on using to mod and I was hoping that maybe a repair would work so I can at least use some of my mod money but at least replacing it I know that it will be fixed for a while where a patch if it would even work would probably be only temporary. Thank You all.

 

do you really want to take that risk of it EFFFing up and your truck over heating and blowing you motor???? NOt worth it. buy a new one and have no worries..

 

Damn....a 6 year old tacoma with a hole in the radiator already?


That's disappointing to hear.

Definately replace. A repair is just that - a repair (and probably won't last very long).

 

Thats what I was thinking when I seen the hole in the radiator, its only 6 years old and has 68,xxx miles on it.
