Guys,
2013 6.7 - motor/exhaust is all stock.
After a massive overheat a few weeks ago in the secondary system, I finally had time this past weekend to get under the truck with a flashlight and find the source of the leak. BOTH radiators are leaking from the driver's side corner. All other connections I could see/trace are fine, there were no obvious leaks from hoses, and both systems lose trace amounts of coolant over time. However, being the anal driver that I am, I would like the peace of mind of a system I don't have to top off once a week. To that end, the truck has 76K miles, so while I am in there, this is my plan:
Both radiators
Both ECT sensors (Forscan reports an out of range value on both)
Both thermostats (I assume both systems have thermostats)
My quandry is whether to replace both with OEM radiators or Mishimoto. To that end, the secondary radiator is easier to replace than the primary. So, I'd like to garner everyone's experience with the Mishimoto (or alternative) primary radiator, as that is the one I'd really like to be bulletproof for a long time. Also, while it is all apart, is there anything else I should look at replacing per routine maintenance?
Thanks guys, y'all are always a source of great information.
