That's how long the radiator lasted in my Suburban.
I know this because it had a sticker on it that showed the build date of the rad. Plastic tank finally developed a small crack and started leaking. I was actually pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to replace. Just under 2 hours, including 45 minutes to the parts store and back. We'll see if the new one makes it as long! |

That's quite a while and impressive. I would throw a new thermostat in just in case while I was under there but other than that, keep on putting on the miles!

Wow, can't complain about 190k on a radiator, especially in AZ.

I got 275,600 out of the OEM unit in my 98 Accord. I was blown away!

Amazing what routine maintenance such as changing coolant will do
Family member had an old Ford IDI diesel that had the original radiator for 22ish years and 300k before a deer took it out. It was solid brass and the coolant was regularly changed and maintained with Napakool. |

I replaced the original radiator in my dad's truck a couple weekends ago. 17 years and 240K-something miles later.
