Only have one Chinese option for an all aluminum radiator?
I hate plastic radiator tanks. So naturally I want an all aluminum one and after searching the internets I only found a Chinese all aluminum radiator. Over a decade later from the last GX470 year model and still not really any all aluminum radiators out there—much less no Chinese made ones?
Is THIS my only option?

Sadly yes. I even went with a CSF and it's still plastic. Plastic sucks for sure, but with the GX its almost like a normal wear and tear part. Hoping I'll get more longevity out of the CSF but who knows? Let us know if you get the all aluminum and how it holds up. Good Luck, Chinesium isn't a great metal, lol.

Honestly I don't know. I've used full aluminum CSF radiators as replacements on some of my past BMWs with great success, so I trust the quality of CSF but it being plastic is my only concern. But I replaced mine on the GX with the CSF about 18 months ago, no issues.
