Radiator Replacement?

Hey guys.

I've got a 2008 ML320CDI, and it appears to have a radiator leak at just over 140k miles. Not uncommon, really, especially with plastic tanked radiators. Is this a common failure on this vehicle?

Couple questions: Should I go OEM on replacement parts, or are there some better aftermarket parts available? If so, where should I get them? I've used autohaus AZ in the past; they're okay.

Thanks in advance!!!

Post your full vin # since there are two different part numbers.

Please UPDATE YOUR PROFILE in USER CP to include the year and where you live.

Done! Sorry I didn't have it done already; never got around to it.

The year is 2008, and VIN is 4JGBB22E18A364016

Here is the part number for your radiator. Try to pick it up personally as having it shipped has a good chance of coming damaged.

Also here is the DATA Card for your truck.
