I wonder what causes these radiators to crack though. A few people here have had that same problem. Maybe the assembly-line workers are banging them around when they install them into the trucks at the factory or something.

They are cracking now days because of cheaper materials. The plastic end caps are constantly cracking. When my radiators go bad, I just have my radiator shop braise brass end caps to replace the plastics. No problems after its done.
