Quick facts

- Fits: the 1975 Chevrolet Malibu 6-cylinder 4.1L and other vehicles
- Material: aluminum core, plastic tanks

Coolant dripping or staining around the core or tanks, or an engine that runs hot, can mean a radiator is failing. Before you replace it, rule out a worn radiator cap, a thermostat or a hose, because any of those can also leave an engine running hot.
