Days to replace radiator?

I thought Job 3 trucks were safe from this problem, but I guess not.... One thing to note I had the venturi T from the factory not a recall fix.

For those of you that had the radiator replaced, how long does it take? I am at 33,000 miles and mine has started leaking. So I am going to make the appointment to get it fixed.

Where mine is leaking is on the lower drivers side at the seam where the aluminum is crimped to the plastic end. I just noticed it on Friday when I was getting ready to leave as I just loaded the truck with parts to go on a job.

Other notes on the leak is after I noticed it I wiped it clean and then drove it home and after 6 hours of the truck sitting - everything still dry. This morning go out to look at it and crap a drip on the frame horn. My thinking is when the radaitor is hot it's not leaking cause it is hot and expanded. When it cools the leak opens up.

Have any of you gotten a loaner vehicle at no charge for this warranty repair?
