thats what i thought.
it has plastic tanks (top and bottom u mean?)
i wonder why the nulon site would recomend green coolant rather than the more expensive red coolant :?

it even says green coolant for the new 4.8 :?

plastic core :)

nah alloy tanks are usually custom jobs that means full alloy radiator

If its a black center and tanks, its brass/copper

if its a silver coloured middle and black plastic tanks, its alloy.

i don't think GU came with brass tanks, unless you have the radiator replaced. would love to have an alloy rad for mine to cool it down quicker
