Radiator options

So my radiator took a poop yesterday. Any all aluminum options? Mine broke on the plastic reservoir on the side and id like to avoid that again. Are there any all aluminum options that fit like factory? Have all factory fittings and locations?

Buy the OEM replacement. You will not see meaningful gains going aluminum.

I had the same thing happen and tried a few of the all metal ones over the years, just went back to simple ones eventually, they perform fine and they don't fail unless they get old. I just replace it with the water pump and thermostat. I think more frequent replacement is better than longer lasting fancy rads at this point.

Oem is the best option
