Radiator additive question

[NY87GN]

I just noticed the other day that my radiator is going to need to be replaced. I believe after all this time it is getting porous. Replacing a radiator is not in my budget at this point. Does anyone have any suggestions for an additive that might serve as a temporary fix.
Many thanks for your considerations.

I've used GM seal tabs with success before.

Forgot to mention it may turn your coolant mud brown though...I've also used Dikes Radiator Stop Leak. Can be found on Amazon. Hoping to buy an Alradco soon...

Thanks 626...I looked it up on amazon, it has very good reviews. I will be buying.

Go to advancedautoparts dot com.

Look up a radiator for an 89 IROC Camaro with a treefiddy. Then put ''TRT30'' in for the discount code.


Why patch the problem when you can fix it? You're stock radiator has to be at least 1/3 clogged by this time anyway. If that's still out of your budget, I'd recommend parking the car until you can fix it correctly.
