They were totally crumbling in both of my PPVS.

The oem one died at like 84k, so I put the koyoto in and then I think it sprung a leak after 3yrs so I replaced it then pulled it out and put in the aluminum one which lasted about a month and leaked so I put the old one back in so it's been another 3 years with the koyoto again, I have never had a radiator last me 5 years they all die on me every, 3-5 years. Apparently I'm a savage. The one I put in the 03 like probably 8 years ago is fine but my sister has had it for 4-5 years. They gave me a lifetime warranty so I'm good
Mine are completely gone with just a small shred of material around the plastic Christmas tree, I guess that happens when you drive 130mph+
Picked up a few pieces 
neighbor said I have too many chevy's lol, pfft I used to have 4-5 cars all the time, for no reason other than to tinker and drive something different
didn't have a gang of kids then either so i could spend more time in the junkyard getting parts or better parts, finding a nice trim piece for a 25-40 year old vehicle is like gold sometimes

Yes, familiar with the brine… upstate NY here.
Mine were dry rotted and flapping around, 300K does that I guess.

How long do TPMS sensors last? I bought "new" OEM ones at the last tire replacement 4 years ago, almost to the day. But I have no idea how long they sat in a warehouse prior to my purchase. Also, this is the same tire that just had the valve stem replaced a few weeks ago. Can these be screwed up by a sloppy tire jocky?

They're supposed to last 7-10 years. The OE style ones have a build date code printed on them. I just recently changed out the last OE one that went dead on the 2015 Acadia and it was dated 2014.
I've also had a new one die after about 2 months, on my Yukon when I put new wheels/tires on last year along with all new OE sensors

I'm knocking on wood here talking about it, lol, but I've only ever replaced one radiator in the 6 vehicles that I currently own. That was in my Mustang, not because it leaked, but because of the bigger, supercharged engine I put in 15 years ago needing a bigger radiator.
My two highest mileage vehicles which were bought new, the 2001 Yukon with >250k miles and the 2002 Mustang GT with ~170k still on original radiators
