'99 Tahoe Radiator - Options ?

[Ironhorse]

Wife just got home from work a bit ago and while I was out side on the deck grilling some brats I noticed a "puddle" under the left side front under the bumper. Popped the hood and noticed the original GM radiator plastic tank is seeping near the top. Tahoe has just right at 127,500 miles. Converted to the old style "green" anti-freeze 15,000 miles ago from the "pink jello" the General installed. It's been a good driver and will fix this but like to know? Does anyone still make a decent all metal radiator for this truck? 5.7 (350 v-8) old body style, 4 spd auto, 4x4. Any tips and places to look for such an animal? Any ideas appreciated.

I'm not sure if you can find a all metal one, if you do it will be all aluminum. I take them to a radiator shop and they replace the tank/oil cooler.

Thanks for the reply. Since don't have a radiator shop here in Podunk, USA anymore may be having to replace with a new radiator rather than repair the original. Did not know that the plastic tanks are replaceable. Seems to be
"crimped" to the center section with small "tabs" . Oh, for the good ol' solid metal tanks we used to have.
