Default Radiator sprung leak
Today my radiator sprung a leak on the to row closest to the inlet side. I put some stop leak in it but was wondering how long it can last?

Not long. That stuff will mostly settle to the bottom and clog the radiator after awhile. I would start looking into a replacement before it leaves you stranded.

Awhile back I worked on my friends 97 Ram. I got a new radiator from a local radiator shop (Roppels Radiator) for about 1/2 of what AutoZone wanted for one. Lifetime warranty andd it cools the 360(5.9L) great. You might look into a local shop.
