Approximately in 2006, with only 30,000 miles, I noticed antifreeze pooling under my 1097 silverado pickup. I took my vehicle to an auto repair shop and was told that it needed a new radiator. The radiator was replaced. Approximately one month later the same problem. The radiator was again leaking. The radiator was replaced three times until the owner of the repair shop stated that he would no longer replace the radiator and explained that the 1997 silverado pickup was known for a condition called. Electrolysis.
