I know a lot of you have these in your vehicles.  I recently needed a radiator for my Firebird and the reviews for Champion radiators applicable to those were not too good, mostly springing leaks within a few years.

Who here has had one in a year round daily driver, and for how long?  It is very important that it is a daily, winter, summer, rain, snow, because that is how I use it and that's much more stress on it than a weekend or fair weather driver that gets limited mileage each year.

My 20 year old US made repro is finally leaking.  I'd like to replace it with something that will last.  Not concerned with it looking original.  A Champion (or other Chinese) that needs to be replaced every few years is more expensive than a US made radiator that lasts (hopefully) in the long run.   Hard to find reviews about US made because most people don't want to spend the money so I can't be sure if I would actually get something better.
