Overheating - on my 4th Radiator

Overheating - on my 4th Radiator
last christmas i bought a '99 3.1L Monte Carlo. when i bought it, it had been leaking coolant from the timing chain cover, i took it all off, replaced the gasket, problem solved.
midway through last summer, i had some overheating problems and found a pinhole in my radiator up in the top right corner of the radiator (if we were looking from the engine). i replaced the radiator thinking it was just a bum radiator for whatever reason.
short while later, the new radiator blew in the same exact spot. the bottom hose was cool and the top one was hot so i figured my thermostat wasnt opening up and so i replaced the thermostat and the 2nd radiator. (both fans work just fine too)
4 days later my new radiator goes. thank goodness autozone has a lifetime warrantee on all radiators.
anybody here have experience with going through radiators like the Hulk goes through clothes? what could be going on here, im out of ideas
