Where is it leaking? Have you looked at the mishimoto? Lots of off road?

I am on my second mishimoto and it just started leaking as well. At least they are lifetime warranty just the pain of changing and replacing rad fluid. I wish there were a better answer. But I believe it is the flex in the frame.

I work in some pretty rough areas in the bush and heard about the occasional failure but usually after a big stuck or tow. Are you off road a lot as well? Kinda pisses me off everything turning into tin foil these days..

Buddy is a rig welder in the patch and often has to be tugged into a job or get pulled out when he gets stuck (f550 loaded to the nuts). He’s had 2 radiators fail, both times shortly after being pulled out. Both times they were pulling on only one tow hook. I suggested to him to tie onto both hooks to prevent the frame from racking. It’s been over a year since he put the second radiator in, and he’s been pulled through or out many times since.

Each time bottom of rad where tabs crimp plastic. I don’t 4x4 off road, but do go down gravel logging roads in fall time for hunting

Did you buy your rad in Canada or order it out of the states? Thinking I might go this route next time

You could try mishimoto, I don’t think they’re the cheapest , but I’ve never heard a bad thing about them

Ya trying to source one out close to me that won’t cost fortune for shipping. 400$ cheapos aren’t working.
2011 f350 with 303690 klm on it , no engine issues just a rad because of cracked mounting brackets or something . One front wheel bearing . Still going strong going to try for 500000. Lots of cold starts . just let it warm up before driving .

I know its not the same truck but I know the 6.4 had issues with body and rad mounts being pooched. It would put stress on the radiator/cooling group thus causing the rad to split/leak. Just a thought.

Ok thanks. I’ll check them out when I change the rad out...it’s just a small leak right now, top it up every second day.
Sounds like a 2 stroke sled.

Very nice looking rads and good quality tig welds.
