Well my 13 month old OEM radiator is split at the seam of the passenger side tank. It's leaking pretty good under pressure. It had a 12 month warranty but I missed it by 1 month (foiled again!). It can't be soldered. So I guess I'm looking at a new radiators.
The shop I spoke with about repairing it was telling me that they thought it blew b/c my fans aren't turning on or I have a bad head gasket or it's over heating. My fans turn on (I can hear them), it runs almost dead nuts at 210 consistently. I'm inclined to think that it's due to the fact that the plastic/metal radiator is a giant turd. Sure it's possible that my head gasket is shot but I just don't think so. What do you all think?
I spoke with DPG Offroad today and they have the CSF 3 core, all metal rads for 155 bones. Guess it'd be smart to go to the dealer and get new hoses and NAPA for a pump and thermostat while I'm in that deep? Do you all agree?
