On that I agree. But now look at today's cost of an aluminum radiator... close to 100.00 (+ or -) over a repo OEM GM radiator. What wasn't said in that article was that temps are now running at 205 or higher in these new plastic-aluminum radiators. No savings I can see. And I'm still not convinced aluminum is better.... nor will I be.

Now go another step. The core I have installed now between my original upper and lower tanks is still a 3 core, but called an SLK core, which is comparable to an OEM 4 core GM radiator. And it's made up in Philadelphia, PA USA. This core is copper with 3/8ths inch spacing between the tubes. Yes, I measured it. I've no idea as I did not count the number of tubes in my original OEM 3 row core, but this core has 168 tubes and too many to count extra fins.

I am now out of this topic unless it goes back on the topic started by Don.

The eyes are watching..... So with that....
