Classic industries radiator finally gave out

Its not like its gone bad! Kind of hard to say how long they last until they break, but I have a plastic tank radiator in my truck that's 18 years old too.

I think he was talking about the OP’s radiator which also happens to have failed after 8 years.

I don’t think he meant either of our radiators which are at 8 years -ish and are still fine.
