I had intended to replace it, to make sure that my daughter did not have any problems while driving her car (uber-Dad here).

But that was back when I assumed that it was of original vintage...Now that I see that it has the reinforced neck I won't replace unless it has a real problem or goes bad. Anyhow, the car now has new hoses and new thermostat and it runs very cool and smoothly.

It does have the infamous gurgling sound. I vote to have the dealer anti-gurgling kit installed. My daughter thinks that the gurgling is cute, that it gives her car personality, like it was a real person...what do kids know anyhow???

I guess it was more a matter of idle curiosity as to when Behr began to sell radiators with reinforced neck

Thanks

Uber-Dad
