Default Decent replacement radiator for the 4.7?

I need to get a replacement radiator for my 1500 (4.7) anybody have any luck with an economically priced radiator for this truck? The first replacement I purchased lasted 4+ years, this last one lasted 2 months and the replacement lasted only 2 months before it leaked at the tank/core seal.

Vtake off ur top radiator hose, pour out little bit out the hose n put a raw egg in the hose then put it back together. The egg will cook as the engine runs n ur water pump will chop it in littleppieces, as the egg cooks it will find ur leak n the pressure will force it into the hole, drive it around for a week after that it should be hard as a rock, do a radiator flush n ur good to go, I had the same problem ur having n I did this bout 50xxx miles ago n its still good

A cracked egg or a entire egg, shell and all? I gotta say, that is the first time I have ever heard that!
