Nate since you tend to jump on all 6.4 issues with all four of your feet, I am surprised you didn't ask if it was like the "cow and the flat rock"!!

I wonder if they Radiators were manufactured in Mexico or Asia...does anyone know?? I am curious to see if they outsourced overseas or Mexico for them...I'd bet a dollar and seventeen cents.
Surely this wouldn't be an American quality issue I would hope.
Just replaced the radiator in my 90 F350. Got the radiator from radiators .com . $280 delivered. Next day delivery from Romulus Mich.The box said a Visteon product made in Mexico. Visteon was a sub of Ford but not anymore, they do still supply Ford with products. Sure hope mine is OK. Replacing engine 7.3 IDI just now due to cavitation 300,000+ miles on it. Only had 75 mi. on rad before engine went down.

Does this radiator issue possibly have anything to do with the fact that they are mounted on an angle? I'm just asking an honest question. I was a little skeptical when I looked under the hood and read about it.
