Radiator replace

I have a 2011 f450 with 145,000 miles. I don't currently have a problem with the stock radiator, however I do sometimes smell hot coolant after a long drive, and added about a quart of coolant to the main cooling system about 5,000 miles ago. It seems to be staying at the full mark now.
There is a brand new in box mishimoto 6.7 radiator for sale on Craigslist for $500.
Do you all think it is worth updating to the mishimoto? I am second owner bit I believe the current radiator is the original.

did you check the seams down by the drivers side petcock. Look through the wheel well.


I would probably purchase it, but why is it on CL? Why was it not used?


Check to make sure it is in fact for the 6.7 by comparing part numbers.

I'd pressure test system. IF you're losing or smelling coolant...then there's something that needs to be identified.

The interchange on the radiator is 6.2 or 6.7, 2011-2016. I have one for a lot less. I'm in SW WA.
