Our local radiator shop (Garrys Radiator Shop)does repairs but course most all he does is coolant systems and stuff. Alot of rads are sent to him believe it or not, not just local stuff. He does cars, trucks, tractors, rigs you name it. Mostly the ones that are far too $$$ to replace at the toss of a hat. Hes a real pro, the radiators look new when done. I had one repaired by him that lasted for over 5 years after. Then it fell apart, another he wouldnt repair it was just too far gone. However, first thing he does is clean the crap out of it inside and out. If any signs of rotting he tells ya to get new one instead. It wont hold up or be worth it if the metal is rotting. Best have it checked by a real pro and ask if it is better to just replace it. Remember to keep your radiator/water mix right. Too far off and its less effective at cooling, or causes the water pump bearing to fail (lube in rad fluid) and use the RIGHT radiator cap too. Too high presure and it will blow rad or lines too low and it will boil over at too low a temp, which isnt as bad as too high a cap! hehe.
