Don't install a used one in your truck, you will just have problems. Do a Google search and buy a aftermarket radiator

is it common that these radiators get plugged up real bad? i know my radiator went bad because i bought my rover after it had set for two years. an it corroded inside.

i also have you ever seen the water pump impellers ever have any problems?

No, if you use distilled water or low mineral level water, there shouldn't be any problems with plugging up. Some people put stop leak in instead of fixing a leak and that will stop up everything quickly.
As for impellor issue, for the most part, no, they are trouble free.

i belive the person before me owning the rover didnt change the coolant often enough an probley used low quality water . becasue this radiator is ate up an extreamly corroded. i bought a used unit for $75 an pulled the plastic plugg out of the raditor core to see what it looked like in side. this one is farly clean an dosnt show sighns of corrosion or the use of stop leak additives. so i may be in luck. but for good precaution there is a very well respected radiator cleaning an refurb company in my town. im going to take this unit to them an get it cleaned an repainted. an i should be good to go. i am also going to change my thermostat as well an my heater core. its not getting very warm an my guesse is it has gottwn plugged up as well . i bought a new heater core off line should arrive monday.
