    Radiator Recommendation

    I'm looking for a radiator recommendation. I just had my 4th radiator in as many years spring a leak, to say I'm frustrated is an understatement. Usually, it's the tank that springs a leak, this time it is the core leaking. I can't recall what two of the brands were, but the first was the OE...

    Radiator Tank Keeps Cracking

    About 2 years ago I replaced my radiator due to a small crack that had formed at the upper hose connection. At that time I noticed that the bolthole near the centerline of the upper core support didn't line up and the lower foot was about 1/4" (give or take) to the right of where the old...

    Radiator Fan

    So I recently purchased a 2014 Ram 1500 5.7L Hemi Laramie and I noticed the radiator fan is pretty loud when I get on the gas. At lower RPMs it's not so bad, but if I get on the throttle, the fan gets kind of over bearing. I don't even hear the engine, just the fan going. Once the truck shifts...
