Just got a call. Verified it's the radiator. Should be done by tomorrow or next day. Once it's all done and squared away I'll update again.

Be sure that you get new coolant and be sure to get the left overs. You will need to watch it through several cold and hot cycles.

May need to top it off.

They are also making sure the DCA is going to be correct as well. These guys are pretty thorough. Had a leak in the PTU of my wife's Edge a couple of weeks ago and had it out as promised, cleaned the bottom of the car, and it hasn't leaked yet.
I'm just glad they found the leak since it was being so elusive.

Got truck back yesterday. Ford extended warranty requires the dealer to capture and reuse coolant and top off. Service advisor called me ahead of time to let me know and recommended I have them replace with new coolant. I concurred and authorized it.
Other then spending over 100 in coolant on top of oil change and deductible, everything went as expected without a hitch. Surprised radiator went this soon, glad I had the ESP though.
