What job # trucks do you guys have? My understanding was that it was mainly Job 1 trucks with the rad problems.

you can go to jegs and have them put a radiator together in any shape and configuration you want, had one done for my ranger, cost $450 put it in myself and upgraded to an electric fan at the same time, easy job on a ranger, superduty has fuel, tranny, and inter coolers all in the way, but an all aluminum drag ready tow ready bullet proof racing radiator is alot better than the plastic pos that we got stuck with , and for like $500 bucks its worth the time to get that piece of mind

I doubt anyone will step up and produce a replacenment until consumer demand gets sufficiently high. Right now, or so I'm told, the radiators are on national back-order, we are at the mercy of current dealer stock. Hence, I'm holding onto my spare. It may be flawed too, but I can't afford to have my F450 go down, it is my daily driver and all I have in reserve is a GT500KR and my military vehicles.

Mine is a Job 1, stock rad lasted 38K WITH the venturi mod.

Does the drivetrain warranty cover defective radiators beyond 3/36?

i'm curious about a couple of things:

have these specific types of radiators that have been defective in the psd's been used any other type of trucks with the same results?

are the radiators in the v10 f350's the SAME as the radiators in the psd's?
