I'm hoping to tap your brains for some insight into a reoccuring problem in my 2008 F-350. Two months after I bought the truck in 2010 (about 23,000 miles) my radiator cracked and was replaced under factory warranty. Last week, I had it in for regular work and they found the radiator cracked again. I don't even have 68,500 miles on it yet. They said it's out of warranty and won't fall under the engine warranty unless it was caused by something else in the system. Has anyone had the same problems??? I don't drive crazy. I haul a couple horses occasionally but it's not a routine thing. Also, do y'all think I should go to a dealership to get this work done or can I trust another shop to get it done? Any help is greatly appreciated...

Not sure if this is important, but the truck was built in November 2007.

 

Id check for a broken motor mount......

 

How many mounts are there? What is the best way to locate them and determine if they are broken?

 

If it is out of warranty do not go to the dealer! Find a reputable shop and stick with them. You will save yourself an awful lot of cash!

 

Is this a diesel? If so then it is possible that the thermostats are to blame. thermo shock is what is beleived to have caused this.

Vista pro makes an aftermarket radiator.

Proper coolant maintance is very important on these diesels..If that is the type of motor here.

 

need more info and maybe a pic that always helps
