Hi Bruce,
Sorry to hear about your radiator problems, i'm not an expert but I can give you the benefit of my experience. My radiator started leaking with about 50,000 miles at a rate of 1gal every 2500 miles. I debated getting a new radiator at that time, but after talking to several experienced BAC members decided to go with Stop Leak instead. Since it was an aluminum radiator, I chose a stop leak made of aluminum particles. The stop leak lasted about 75000 miles but I always had in the back of my mind that eventually it would get caught and need to replace it. As you know it finally went out as we were starting the rolling rally to Hilton Head. We missed the rally and those after, and after 4 weeks we are still waiting for our coach to be repaired.
I have been told that the aluminum radiators only last 7 to 10 years. My replacement will be a brass copper radiator that is a little larger that the original one. I had planned on getting the new radiator from the company in Sweet Home Oregon, but after the problems Garland had, and after my repair facility said that they will not deal with that company any more, we went to a company in Portland.
To sum this up, you will eventually need a new radiator, but the one you have may last for many miles. The other side of the problem is, if you wait, you may not be able to choose the location and company that does the work, and you may be stuck somewhere for several weeks while the work is done.
If you get help, it is possible to do the work yourself, there are several BAC members who have done just that. Our new radiator is likely to cost upwards of $8000, If you do it yourself it will cost half of that.
