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

The radiator won't go out again. The first run had problems with the end tank crimping, but they have fixed it.

Don't forget that international has a 100,000 mille warrenty on the engine and its related componets as well.
