Radiator Slowly Dieing

jhdeval said

So I stopped by a radiator shop today because I had noticed a leak. Turns out that my radiator is leaking from multiple places along the top and bottom edges. I asked about recoring since mine is still original and about 280. What do you think about the price? Any other suggestions for fixing it?

so it's leaking where the tanks are soldered together? That's an easy fix there that doesn't require the radiator to be recored.

The radiator in my truck was leaking at the top tank, so i pulled it out of the truck, cleaned it up and resoldered the seams on the top & bottom tanks, pressurized it to check for leaks and then reinstalled it in the truck. That was 7-8 years ago and that radiator has been in 3 different trucks and is still working flawlessly.
