took mine in yesterday.. 2008 6.4 w/ 53,800 miles.. not covered under warranty.. i just bought the truck from a different dealer back in mid Feb.. i've put 3k miles on the truck.. and radiator starts leaking.. took it to the dealer near my house.. they called me this morning with the bad news.. $1847 to fix the radiator..

2005 same problem same place, easy to replace radiator your self, took me all of about an hour new komoto radiator dropped right in and set me back just under 300. not to take away from a dealer but why pay out big bucks for something that easy. biggest chore making the little tool to pop out the trans cooling lines. simple, use a air or oxy/acty hose fuerrel, split it slide it around the line push in to a snap pull on the line and all drops out. becarefull not to remove the fittings from the radiator I did on the first one and made it a bit more difficult.

Nah, mine was out of warrenty, low miles but time ran out, don't know why the leak but had a seperation on drivers side between the tank and core

yeah mine wasnt covered either but my 3rd party warranty picked up the tab luckily

I've been through three now... Dealer has replaced it every time and I havnt had to pay but now they don't want to cover it. Where can I find a radiator that I wont have to replace like clockwork at every 25,000 miles?

this makes me want to have a 3rd party extended warranty.
