Radiator covered under warrenty?

Hey guys,

I need some info.. Okay so my radiator is cracked and leaking at the top, but not leaking on the bottom?? yeah i dont know.. So i was wondering if it would be covered under the warrenty considering its not a wear and tear item.. Or is it?

thanks

i cant remember where i got mine from...it was over a year ago. i know it was just over $200

install is pretty easy

drain coolant
disconnect upper and lower hoses
if you are an auto - disconnect tranny fluid lines from bottom of radiator (pink the ends off somehow so all the fluid doesnt run out
disconnect fan wire harness
remove two nuts and bracket from top of radiator
pull radiator out
remove fans from radiator
install in reverse order
im pretty sure thats it..if i forgot a step you should be able to figure it out
