In my opinion, a total replacement is less expensive than repairing the original radiator. I don't want problems on the road, and the cost for a tow bill will go a long way toward the cost of a new replacement radiator. If you replace a radiator before it develops problems, you can do it when you have time - not on the road in a panic."
