Got a question about our radiators..

Who is had theirs go out or start to leak and please include your mileage?
This is just a random thought . Mine is 2015 6.7 f350 ..
My truck currently has 85000 miles and I replaced half of the coolant system about roughly 20000 ish miles ago on a project .
again random thought no issues as of now ...
Stay away Murphy....

Thank you
also do you tow a lot?
I am I self don't have many tow miles on my truck , daily driver and camping very very little towing done for now that is but will later down the road .👍

Ha! Just got my truck back today after the radiator and water pump were replaced because they were leaking. 54,969.3 miles when I dropped the truck off at the dealership.

Right at 200k, at least it coincided with my coolant flush.

Started at 40k. Crimped the rad and lots of jb weld and it lasted about a year. Bought an aftermarket factory style rad on sale at Summit for under $350. Don't know how long that one lasted, it got traded shortly after.

My '15 got one at 29k miles a couple of years ago. It went in for a oil filter adapter leak and came out with a new HPFP, oil filter gasket, and radiator. When I called to pick it up and the service manager told me they had to hold it longer due to the other issues the next question I asked him was "Are we talking about the same truck" Turned out we were.

My 2012 was barely leaking at 22,000 miles. Started more as just bleeding and odor. Could definitely smell something so I took it in to the dealer and they agreed and replaced it under warranty. I'm now at 122,000 miles, all good.

My 2015 6.7L F-250 has 70,000 miles on it. I bought the Mishimoto All Aluminum radiator, and a local mechanic is installing it tomorrow.

Speaking of Mishimoto products:

Now only if I had more money than I knew what to do with.
