The radiator split at the seem. It is made of aluminum and plastic. It split where the aluminum and the plastic are crimped together. Replaced it with a mopar radiator. 2 years later, mopar radiator split again, had it re-crimped which was suggested by a mechanic. 1 month later, radiator split at the same seem. will replace with a different brand radiator and change the radiator cap. Now it is a pain in the ass.
