Re: combustion in the coolant?

Their radiators are junk. I went through 2 of them on my truck in 2 years. My brother has gone through 4 in 5 years. They all start to leak where the tubes go into the header, exactly like hewittca is showing above. I bought a custom radiator for my truck and have had no issues at all.

They do not even ask you to return the old radiator anymore. Get rid of the ColdCase and buy a quality radiator. Problem solved.

Yes, that looks like it is coming from there the tubes go into the header panel. I got mine warranteed and and sold it brand new for $200.

Mine is Power Cool Manufacturing radiator. I was shocked how heavy it was for an aluminum radiator. Mine is an L83 so I wanted the inlet/outlet and the drivers side for a dual pass instead of the LS style on passenger side.
