The fan clutch (and blade) broke off the pulley and flew into the radiator making a nasty gouge/leak, upon pulling the radiator out I noticed the fins would disintergrate by just just rubbing your finger across them......time for a new radiator I assume. I'm having trouble finding the BEST cost on a replacement, new or used, OEM or not. My '80 300 SD (automatic) has 300,000 and I only use it now approx 15,000 miles a year. Can anyone suggest a source for replacement? Thanks in advance for taking time to respond to this post.

Not sure. Try Phil at PartsShop (at the top of this page).

Silverstarrecycling.com I think that's their site, but they sell used parts. I bought some parts for my dad's 300E and they weren't too bad. Especially with shipping from CA to IN.
Thanks
