So my radiator crapped out, and looking for a quick fix without downtime as this is my DD. So, i just want to know if anybody is running them, and what's your experience? This is on the aluminum one with plastic end tanks.

never in a mustang, but I went through 3 from kragen/o'reilly's for my old 2001 s10 blazer. Constantly got one from them with pinhole leaks.

I ran Pepboys copper 3 row radiator for almost 6 years. Used it in both my 91 GT with HCI and in my Incon twin turbo notch and it never gave me any problems.

Thanks. I'm actually satisfied with my purchase on the 1 row aluminum with plastic end tanks. Drove to LA this pass weekend, and temps never reached or passed 180* in 108* weather. So I have no complaints.
