Radiator Shot

Cannot believe I have to replace my radiator on a vehicle that is not even 5 years old yet, $1600. There goes my diesel fuel money for Az.

That sucks! I kind of had to re route my diesel money for AZ also, probably wont make that part of the trip.

Chris, just fuming over the money, probably will still go to Az

So sorry to hear about that unexpected expense. What I want to know is why, what happened to make you have to replace it... That's crazy

That is strange.

Rads are not usually a problem.

John, my thoughts exactly, I never had a rad go out on me. Unfortunately , my 75000 warranty expired 8 000 miles ago. I guess if I did not go on so many trips this past 3 years I would have still been under 75000.

OUCH

That does suck Tom. What's next

Might be time to take one of those "test drives" I've been hearing about this year....you know the kind that makes you drive home a brand new truck

Hey it is Christmas time and you know you deserve it.

Bill, unfortunately Judy gets a new car before I get another truck.

LOL

I know that feeling Tom!!

Were you able to recore the radiator or was the tank leaking?

sounds all too familiar! One of our suppliers had this happen to 2 of his trucks after the warranty but made a stink and got it covered. It is well documented that the Job one radiators were eaten like cheezeburgers! There is a "fix" that involves a venturi "t". Do a little reaserch, i remember there even being a recall. here is some info

Thanks, went back in my records and that recall was performed on my truck right after I bought it. Still wondering if that really solved the problem. Will give Ford a call.

seems radiators built before a certain date had problems with crimping on the tanks also. From our experience after the venturi t and radiator change you should be good for the long haul
