I had to put a radiator in my truck this last spring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of course my truck is an 04 with a salvage title, and when I pulled the radiator out it looked like a bannana, and was leaking at the tank crimps.

Trust me, I was far from surprised. I was actually more amazed the OE one made it 23,000 miles (bought it with 100k, replaced rad at 123k) in the condition it was in.

I would say you got the one bad one out of the pile.

Sorry

Fluid on the truck floor? ...or on the garage floor? Check the hose clamps before you totally freak out, in any case. My '92 was dripping fluid on the driveway when a month old. Looked underneath and a clamp was GONE!
