What is an inexpensive radiator replacement for my 97 classic with a Detroit

I'm not saying they haven't been...just curious why you avoid aluminum when they (in my experience) hold up far better?

 

My experience is the opposite. That's why i don't like them.

 

I like Radiator works very good prices always done me right. General hassled me on lifetime air to air warranty wanted me to ship old to Chicago meanwhile buy another while their manufacturer decided. Went to Rad works saved money.No hassles.I think a rad for Classic with tank is about $1200.Detroit Rad had a 6 wk wait.Dont get that since supposedly they are Manufacturer. Prices were way too high. Can’t say enough good about Radiator works Wyandotte mi.Ince after buying a man a/c compressor and condensor. I said oh I almost forgot an air drier. They gave me one free saying you’ve spent enough already!

 

I used eBay for my ‘96 fld. Description had a number....kc truck parts (lkq) in WA. I dealt directly with them. $1100 with reservoir. Free shipping. Had in 2 days. Huge diff over old one. 4 row. 2 months ago.
