Tisha, Your radiator might be plugged and restricting coolant flow or corroded and not efficiently cooling your engine. Without looking at it, I can't tell you for sure, but there can be other reasons to replace it. If you are considering a second opinion, make sure you see an ASE certified technician. You can locate one near you by going here: http://www.ase.com/bluesealsearch/locator.php Good Luck!
