    Repair don't replace. If you can take it off yourslef just take it to a radiator shop. Safe yourself a thousand or so.

    You can't repair it. The tanks on a 348 are made out of plastic. It sounds like he pushed one of the guide pins on the bottom into the radiator tank, causing it to crack. When I replaced mine I bought a used radiator for $250. The dealers are smoking crack for what they want for a new one.

    How bout an epoxy patch, or plastic weld.

    If not, so much for conventinal radiator repair.
