They all are then because none of them are bad. The rule is if you
properly maintian them they will last the life of vehicle barring
damge from impact. I have seen radiator fail in far few miles than
120K that were not properly maintained and age seem to be a bigger
factor than miles too with improper maintainance because the water is
reacting with it when it is just sitting there.

Re: Followup-- 2000 JGC V-8 still overheating
Up here in the rust belt, the cores of my rads are fine, it's the fins
that rot out then you get odd overheating if you try and run above 70 mph.
Everything internally is working just great, but with no fins to
transfer the heat away it climbs up at odd times. There is this 20 mile
long up hill on the way to a relative's cottage on a 70 mph in the slow
lane highway that causes both our Cherokee and CJ7 to run hotter than
normal to the point I pulled over in the same garage to check it out
thinking I was having problems.

I am a big beleiver is properly designed cooling systems. Lot of newer
vehicals come with marginal cooling systems to reduce production cost
and that cannot cope with higher engine outputs for sustained periods
of times because they have less reserve. If I had a vehical that
heated on a long climb I would fix it via either improved fan clutch a
bigger radiator or both. I am one of these old fashsion guys that
beleive a truck or 4x4 should be able to keep its cool no matter what.
While I have not been happy with my 2000 K3500 in some ways because of
a lot of warranty issue., none of them have been about drivabilty or
cooling. Once a towed a 8K trailer when it was 95 plus out with A/C on
full chill blowing snowflake in cab and it never even got close to 210
even on long highway hills with that load and even stopped in traffic
too. Why, because that is one thing GM got right on it. It has a big
raditor and a massive 10 blade clutch fan with agressive timing that
keeps it cool no matter what. Even my old 89 burb has NEVER been above
210 in its life and it has seen 0ver 105 degrees and in 2003 it was
climbing through Mesa Verade when it was in high 90's at low speed
with heavy load and full A/C. Vehicle only run hot when the cooling
system is not up to the job, not because they have too. Good cooling
with stable temps equal longer drive train life.
