Silla Radiator Opinions

Does anyone have any experience with using Silla brand radiators? I can pick one up for about $130 with a lifetime warranty.

Google it. Seems like the all aluminum versions might be OK. Lifetime warranty is no good if it blows up and toasts your motor. Volvo white block engine does not like to overheat.

Nissens radiator is about $120.
Why bother with Silla?

18 month warranty versus a lifetime warranty is part of the attraction.

Also, I am not finding the Nissens 8601356 for less than $160.
