Anyone have experience with these? I was looking at the Koyorad and the TYC 1918 but I have a friend locally who can do the install for me easily. They all seem to be a 2-4 year radiator, so yes they're cheap but I'm broke and need the old girl on the road. The O'Reilly Radiator would make it easy for my friend to do the install and if they're is a warranty issue it's a local return for him/me. Any ideas on this one?

Murray radiators suck as a whole, because there are usually little things that are different, such as the fitting that goes to the overflow tank may not be the same.
They are cheap, and O'Reilly's warrants them, but look at the cost of time and the coolant you have to dump each time you change the radiator.
It's a hit or miss, honestly. If you want cheap and fast, there it is. If you want longevity, probably not.

And my son works at O'Reilly's, so I get a really good discount....... For my LC I will put in as many OEM parts as I can. I've never owned a vehicle like this one that "spits out" aftermarket parts.
The GM's, Dodge's, Jeeps, and Studebakers I have owned have always like the aftermarket stuff, but not my LC.
I did my 98 Chrysler T&C and I had to repair fitting leaks for about 3 weeks until it decided it was OK. Fit was not perfect and the front cowl is up a little higher because it was a few MM's thicker in that area and the fittings were not in EXACTLY the same location.
But...It's a Chrysler and it's old and not worth a hell of a lot.
The TYC is only $120 from RockAuto, was the Murray cheaper?
