What (other than low fluid) are symptoms of a leaking radiator? Where does it leak from?

Wouldnt it be covered under warranty and if not why would you trade it in all because of a radiator? Also how could the dealership have it for a week for the radiator. I'd say get a new dealer.

Parts are about a 2-5 days order for these trucks. Don't know why.

Also the radiator was a issue they addrassed. Nothing you need to freak out about. It's not like they're sticking the same ole radiator with the same issue in there.

I guess it's more about mileage and the thought of the expense of a radiator when it goes out of warranty the dealer says Ford allows 5hrs to replace the radiator were talking big bucks. Still at the dealers if I take it to another dealer no loaner done checked and no faster they all are backed up
