Just got done replacing my radiator, old one had a very slow leaker that what eating all the cooling fins. Ordered from the radiator barn, $160.00 not bad.
Got it in and filled it up, once I started the motor it started to leak. Check all the hoses, nothing, all of the fluid was dripping under the radiator. I though dammit, got a bad new radiator.
Shut it down and put the old one in, filled it up, ran the truck, no leaks. Thought, I'll go over and check out the new rad, fill it up with water and try an track down where it was leaking before sending it back. Filled it up and put my hands over the opening to block the water. It was fine for a sec until it stared to leak from the bottom.
Turned it over and removed some tape pained black, never installed the draincock. Replaced the radiator three times today...
