On my way home from work on a very rural road, my truck started to overheat and had to force it to the only gas station on a 50 mile stretch. Crack in the radiator and had to have it replaced.

Radiator PLASTIC ends failed after 60,000 miles. small vertical cracks developed on the reverse side of the hot water intake of the radiator. It weeped at first and could not find leak, then small amount of steam on a dry morning showed me the source. Should not have failed after only 4 years and 60,000 PERIOD.

Driving at highway speed, vehicle over heated and stalled. Had to tow the truck 200 miles to dealership. The radiator cracked and failed, Heater core failed as a result of pressure of overheat??????? Dealer said the radiator was not covered by extended warranty. as an additional slap, the dealer had to remove dash to replace the heater core. The removal cracked the dash in three places. This was also not covered. $2 thousand dollars for a radiator??? I am NOT HAPPY.
