Hey guys,
I've had a Cold Case rad in for about 2 years and 2 months and this thing has failed. I installed it in July 2019 and it was fine for a few months but I kept smelling coolant. Kept checking fittings. Had it pressure tested at a shop and they claimed to tighten a few fittings, replace hose clamps and sent me on my way. Now coolant is hitting the ground and you can see green in the fins. The failure appears to be where the core meets the tank on the passenger side.
I'm only posting to share my experience, which is obviously disappointing. By reading their lifetime warranty claim on their website they have plenty of outs to absolve themselves. Then I get stuck paying $60 each way to ship it and my car experiences weeks of downtime.
Any recommendations for replacements are welcome
