Dec 07, 2008 by terrysessum@sbcglobal.net | Posted in Dodge

I have a pinhole leak at the top of my radiator.It would be easy to get to to solder,but I got wondering if they were made of aluminum?It,s were the very top coil meets the side of the radiator?

you cant solder it because it wont hold those are made of aluminum but have plastic tanks and any flame on it will melt the tank ,its better to replace it,you,ll have more problems by trying to repair it,good luck.
