There are other things at play to keep your engine from overheating and they are cheaper than radiators. First make sure the radiator cooling fan is coming on. Cost to do this "Free" Next you may want to replace the thermostat. It may be stuck closed or partially closed. Cost about $8 and your time. Either of these two will cause overheating and are more likely to be the cause than the radiator. A collapsed radiator hose will cause overheating also but rare. Hope this helps
