Another Radiator Issue

I have a 08 and the radiator is leaking form the left tank like all of them. The radiator was replaced at 65000 and now has 119000. Is there anything Ford will do? I know some have had them replaced upto 100K. Since in has had one already will they give the same warranty on it or is it the standard 1yr/12k? Im I on my own on this?

That sucks man. If they find the thermoststs to be faulty they will change the radiator and thermostats under the powertrain warranty which is good for 5 or 100,000.

I searched and found this site for Detroit Radiator,Detroit Radiator Corp. Heavy Duty Truck Radiators, Radiator Cores, Charge Air Coolers. It looks like they make radiators. I have no idea if and or how much they would charge. Good luck.

My f-450 with 39,000 miles started leaking in the same place. My local dealer would not give me any help. Does anyone have any more information on how to get it covered under warranty?
