I get the frustration, but it doesn't seem like you have a great attitude about this. You bought an 8-year-old truck. Stuff happens.

I hope she holds together for you, but unfortunately I've never seen a leak repair itself. Did they agree to cover it if it fails?

 

Well, been three weeks and a few hundred miles. No leaks. Dealership called and said bring truck back in for Master Ford mechanic to look at radiator. And if they cover radiator I would owe $900 for new hoses and degas bottle. Heading over a few passes with trailer this weekend. Will see if it leaks. Do I really need a new degas bottle? I know the hoses have double o rings now. Was the radiator updated or will they be putting in the same radiator? Oh wait I found the reason for all the bad radiators. Whos got Trumps email ? he's gotta see this. Perot you were right, Damn NAFTA. Thanks Clinton, good work........

 

[I]you can see crust from when it leaked weeks ago?

 

This was degas after drive home from work. It has never been below cold line level. Always in the middle of the lines when cold.

 

AND ok, IM not gonna sell it. I love this damn truck.

 

See if you can get any money back on the ESP, if you can, use it to buy a Mishimoto rad and the other parts, and get your own mechanic to repair it.'
The ESPs, especially the Premiums, used to be good, but now there are too many outs for Ford.

You can change the rad yourself, Mishimoto I believe has their own video on it.

 

Yes best advice so far. I'm debating what to do. Just got back from towing over few passes about 300 miles. Stayed cool entire time with A/C running But Started dripping again at lower drivers side when I got home.

NOT hoses...

 

Oh yea just saw CAC was starting to leak. At lower drivers side also. I'm not having very good luck right now.



Lower drivers side CAC leaking.

 

I wanna sell mine too. 5th radiator in 2 1/2 years. Put in a Moshimoto radiator in January, so far so good but my water pump and thermostat went out. Weird. Love to get a 07 or 11.
