Yup, mines fixed. Thanks for the offer

It was $272 for the radiator and $55 for the coolant and distilled water.

Thanks again for everyones help!

I dont know what the causes of a cracked radiator are, but im sure glad mine failed. It looked like someone dipped my radiator and intercooler in a clay mud bath.

It cracked at the top seems.

This one came out of a May 04 production truck with 75K miles that had been cleaned with simple green. The crimped aluminum fingers on the top tank are all "fractured" in the front but it appears to be leaking on the back seam from the report I got. I guess the rad. shop will let me know if it's repairable.
