    I need to replace my Mack ch model radiator and been surfing the net and calling some people but there are a few of them that people say to stay away from because their cores will leak , fall apart , or have complaints with the BBB, who could you people recommend to purchase a radiator core for a Mack ch that is giving you a product that wont fall part in 1 year or leak right out of the box ?

    I put one in from Detroit Radiator about 3 years ago and never had a problem with the core. I did have to replace the gasket on the top tank because it was leaking, but I think I probably overtightened the bolts when I put it together the first time.

    I have used detroit and general radiator both with good results. They probably use same supplier anyways. General I found to be just a little cheaper.

    No, they shipped very fast and it's held up great. I don't know what their feedback says, but I imagine on the cores people don't put them together right and then want to blame someone else so they can get a refund. I know it's been at least six years on one. They may have some crap radiators, but personally with my experience i would buy again.
