    So my custom made Griffin radiator started a slow leak, this is the 3rd time.
    This radiator cost $586, another $200 to have polished & $225 to repair the first time,the 2nd time Griffin replaced & polished for $200.
    When I call Griffin they told me they only warranty for 1 year & had replaced already.
    Do not buy from them!!
    Found & called Champion Radiators, fully tig welded & Life Time Warranty, also came polished, $200 from Jags.
    Made new mounting brackets for my electric fan. 1.jpg 2.jpg

    THREE failed radiators? Dang that's some crap luck right there. Too bad they wouldn't warranty it

    I dunno what the aluminum radiator is in my Hilux but pretty sure the one in my Oldsmobile is a Champion. Definitely good quality
