Hey, where'd you get that Radiator?
How much was your radiator?
Where did you buy it?
How is it performing?
I'm trying to get a consensus on the best "bang for your buck" when replacing the faulty factory H3 radiator.
Inevitably, someone's gonna post, "there's an old saying, you get what you pay for" -- but most of us who have been around the block once or twice, know that that's not always true.
Remember, another old saying that goes, "there's a sucker born every minute."
Hopefully, if we get a few responses, we can come to a reasonable conclusion.
Thanks!

3yrs later still holding strong and I haven't had to add any coolant since install.

I have the Silla as well. 40-45K miles and almost 4 years, still going strong. I think it was about $125. If it broke today I would replace it with the all aluminum one on GStyle4U.

Thanks Doc.
I know you'll disagree and it would be nice to have the aluminum for sure -- but based on others experiences, I'm going for the Silla -- 'cause I can do a lot with the $439 bucks I'll save.
Thanks for your help.

***UPDATE***
FYI
This radiator has worked flawlessly for 16 months, including 2 summers. No leaks, never required additional coolant, temp gauge stayed under half-way mark even under stress on 100 degree days.
The one I purchased was the OSC 2855 Radiator for $110.79
I added the AC DELCO RC85 (GM OEM) for $7.83
The total w/ tax and shipping was $145.76 -- it was purchased from Rockauto.com
