Radiator leaking

Jesse_01 · Aug 12, 2014

Pulled the truck into the garage todo the front brakes. I see coolant drips on the ground. Now wtf, look under the truck and see this.

Gotta love the plastic end tanks! I'm so glad alradco started making radiators for the 6.4. I think they're thinking about making ones for the 6.7, but I'm not positive.

I know. I just finished fighting with a fuel issues lol. Always something when these trucks hit 100k.

In all fairness you guys up north put a truck through more of a trial in life than us southerners do with your big temperature swings and really cold winters. Move to the south. Trucks stay together longer! Lol.

I had mine do that around 25-30K and fixed under warranty. i do think it had something to o with rough terrain driving but havent had a problem since it was replaced.

My radiator started leaking in the common driver side petcock area at 50k miles. Other then that the truck now has just shy of 70k miles and running great.

I guess turbos & radiators are NOT " built ford tough"!

I am going to run mine till I get rid of the truck, unless it gets real bad.

Yea. In a thread about a newer truck that has issues, what did you expect? "Hey bro, thats fantastic that your radiator is leaking!" There are people piling in these threads when someone has an issue "mine is doing that too".

I just got rid of a two year old truck that had a hundred and some change on the odometer because we could barely keep it running. So yea, I think my comment stands. Doesnt really matter if its a ford, chevy/gmc, or ram.

Its cool that people love the 6.7s and the interiors are top notch but running 60k miles per year, I dont have time for crappy stock fuel systems and a driveline that exhibits vibration issues after 40k miles because ill have that on this truck way before a year is up.

My post wasnt so much negative as "Hey Ill take my 15 year old motor technology in a new truck" lol. I know at 100k miles the drivers side manifold bolts will probably break. The fuel pump will sound like it has gravel in it around that time. Turbo will go shortly after that. Its gonna start leaking coolant and oil anyday since I have 10k miles on it. Of that Im positive. I think since the superduty costs more than the other two, they are using cheap parts on the most expensive trucks. Thats all.

Ive got a 14 duramax/alli 3500 srw cclb z71.

Haha now my fuel sending unit is messing up. The guage sits at 100% full all the time.

Really too bad they didn't at least fix the radiators for the 6.7, they knew it was a big issue on the 6.4's, must have been a larger big money maker to keep it the same for the 6.7, at least we have Alradco!

Alradco hasn't made one for the 6.7 yet. The truck has only been out for 4yrs.
