Well my second radiator gave up the gusto after 6 entire days. It does not look like anything with the install, same as the last one leaking from the side. Im getting very angry

This is getting ridiculous, are they just reinstalling the same defective radiators over and over again. Surely they know they got a supplier problem, I don't get this.

I am on radiator watch. This is getting rediculous.

I saw a stack of them out by the dumpster at my dealer after the sales manager said they had only seen one that died....though the service manager said there had been a good few of them.

P.S.... they weren't tossing them out they just needed room in the shop. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]

There's gotta be some $$ in recyling those bad boys as scrap aluminum??

Your dealer should be informed on these replacement radiators.
They have to spot the bad ones prior to replacement..

See Fords message below I was sent from someone over to Ford Truck Enthusist

Radiator coolant leak:
Some radiators have developed leaks at the end tanks due to poor tank crimping. Radiators with a build date of 8-6-07 and later have been inspected and certified. Radiators that were built prior to that should be inspected for incomplete crimping of the end tabs at the tanks, as well as cracks in the tank around the transmission cooler line fittings. Build date information is on a yellow or white sticker on the top radiator cross rail. Replacement radiators should be inspected for damage prior to installation. Broadcast Message 0246, 0107."
