F-450 King Ranch 6.4L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 99,000 miles

My 2008 F-450 leaked at the plastic seam halfway down the radiator. It got warm, and I got hot. Shouldn't have happened with a heavy duty truck. So they claim it's a SUPER DUTY. Prove it?

F-450

  • Automatic transmission
  • 46,000 miles

2008 ford f-450 the elitist of trucks, mrsp $56,000, 46,000 miles later radiator leaks where the aluminum and plastic join, meaning its cheap and junk, why use plastic in the first place? and read other 6.4 liter diesel have the same problem! Ye be warned, this would have cost a lot more if i hadn't done the labor myself.
