I have a renegade radiator in my v8 car and it is leaking. I bought the radiator from renegade probably around 2005, not much miles on it, but lots of years.
any suggestions on who I can buy a replacement radiator from? and cost? model number would be great. Attached image(s)

Absotootely. The reason I wanted to see the voltage with key on/off is to isolate and ground any devices dumping voltage into the coolant. The transmission even does it to some extent. You, and I repeat, you cannot have too many grounds. In severe instances you can use an anode fitting to control it. Your Al radiator and CI block are worlds apart on the Galvanic chart. This will get you up to date............ http://www.engineersedge.com/galvanic_capatability.htm
