Message:
my radiator is on borrowed time
local shop said the dodge dealers won't sell the gasket for the tank/composite ends must buy new complete
anyways I will not put a stop leak in cause it'll clog the heater core I think
it only leaks a bit when cold and running after that nothing ... it's weird
question is where the best low dollar buy on a radiator on the web? I have seen from $160 to $375
I have visegrip cripped the tangs a bit and it helped, didn't dog it as to it might crack the tank
Happy Holidays people

it's the gasket were it meets the composite(plastic tanks) held with tangs (claws)
it's an easy repair with new radiator 15 minute job
just low on fuel $$$ right now the truck is thirsty for gas so money goes there and working on economy need better mileage
I watch it daily and check the water level
love have a spring hood (prop rods (Yuck)
makes checking under hood easy

I will try jb weld when it gets worse
since it will adhere to almost anything
just have to do a good prep job
