Mine just crapped out on me. I have no reason to think it isn't stock, so 139,000 miles.

My '95's is still original. Now, transmissions and rear ends, that's a whole new story.

129k miles. the plastic part cracked. I replaced it myself with absolutely no mechanical knowledge. (when you dont have any money and need the car ASAP, i guess you become a mechanic )

www.becool.com I weld these radiators! Very good, but, a little pricey! If you have the extra cash, WELL worth the money! Will drop your temp 30-40 Degrees! Very reliable.
