You are dead on that radiator life prediction. Mine failed at exactly 12 years or about 145 k! 04 Aero. My coolant valve assembling sprouted leaks at 95k. The Mackay bypass cluster was used to replace OEM but the AC performance has suffered ever since.
So much so I park the car in July and August when the Georgia heat and humidity overwhelms the feeble AC performance. Charge, blend door, flaps, fan all check out ok so maybe the shitty little coolant valve is somehow needed. Definitely not from a reliability standpoint.
I throw thermostats at this car. I am on number 5 at 151k. Currently Motorad. It will last maybe 2-3 years before it gets lazy and sticks open.
