I've had them all under warranty so it wasn't to bad..but i've finally figured out my problem i was having(lol knock on wood)..had nothing to do with "chassis flexing" like most were going on about at correl. It's called coolant electrolysis..aka a stay electric current getting carried through the coolant. I measured my coolant and found over 50mV with the car completely off. I replaced the coolant and in a matter of days it was back at over 50mV..I noticed when i turned on my radio it would shoot up in mV's. I refitted the ground behind the dash to a better location, replaced the coolant again and tested in a few days..everything was perfect.So if you have a bad/corroded/faulty ground wire/cable..it's very easy to get coolant electrolysis which can finish a aluminum rad in a matter of days!!Anyways I'm not stating this is the problem for all these leaking radiators, but in my case it was..Here's a link to what I used to diagnose my fault i had..check out some of the testing they did, goes to show why some ppl had no problem with there stock rad but started having radiator leaks when switching to a large aluminum rad..<a href="http://www.tectaloy.com/images/documents/Tectaloy%20Green%20Book%20Vol%202.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.tectaloy.com/images/documents/Tectaloy%20Green%20Book%20Vol%202.pdf</a></blockquote>
