Well when I was looking up radiators on several aftermarket sites I notice they would always have different labels for the radiators they carry. One would be "All Metal" & the other "All Aluminum". Even though their both metal theres a difference in the density of each one & overall durability. Just like they make different types of glass. Like your standard glass material on average vehicles & than the thicker bullet proof ones on high end vehicles.

Well I am assuming when they say all metal, they are referring to the end tanks on the radiator to not being made out of plastic which have a tendancy to crack even worse. Usually just a crimped on brass end tank to the core. Its still a horrendous labeling and anyone who is in the engineering field cringed and shed some tears reading it lol.
