So I'm currently in the middle of my 10 year (almost) and 100k mile tune up. New plugs, new belt and pullies, new water pump, thermostat, hoses. Crazy you have to take the intake manifold off for this which mandates replacing the EGR return cooling hose. also doing the inlet as well (might as well). This last part is why a one day job has turned into more. Waiting on the EGR hoses.
anyway, talking to the parts guy, I get a recommendation to replace the radiator since they usually only last 10 years. I'm thinking WTF. My radiator in my 2015 6.4 is just fine. I've never done a pre-emptive radiator swap before. Is this a thing and have I just been lucky in the past? We do a lot of long distance travel trailer towing so if I need to be doing this, I will.
anyone know if this is something that really should be done?
