    Replacing the radiator would make me feel better but does anyone have any other input? Truck stays cool and I want to drive it....

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Have been driving it a couple times a week, as I have posted, even with the leaky rad. Driving it for distances of 20 miles here and there and the rad stays full even with the leak. I also have been topping off the reserve when it gets low. My driveway is not level on the spots we park. Possibly...

    Enjoyed the foliage during a ride down a two lane road out to Powhatan today. Dropped Kelley's Motovox bike with his cousin for a tune up.

    Drove it today to run errands(which was actually quite fun) and pick up an extra yard skeleton. So, drove it and decorated for Halloween/neighborhood zombie run.

    Sounds right. It has been 70's all through Saptember here in VA and recently we had 3 days with highs in the 50's(like fall) then back to 70's.

    It charged during my ride enough to crank up again right after shutting off the engine to wait on my son. I got it home and now I need to go get my CRV.

    Just recharged the portable charger and it fired up immediately. I drove it a bit to get my son from tennis lessons. About to see if it charged...

    It's the battery I bought the truck with about 3 years ago.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Drove it to vote early today. When done voting truck won't turn over. It has been driving great lately even after realizing I have the slight radiator leak. Even with the leak the truck seems to be holding coolant. The Last project I did with it was replacing the power window regulator so I had...

    I take it the petcock will be proportionate to the radiator size? 17, 19, 21 inch etc..?

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Awesome tip. I will be looking at hand pumps. Is there a universal petcock or will I have to look for brand specific?

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Now that you mention it and looking closely to my own pics, It does seem to be puddling out right there under it. Suddenly I have the slightest bit of positivity. When time allows I will be investigating again. Should I be planing to replace the petcock? Or just replace an O ring on it? I am...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Troubleshot with the radiator today. Warmed it up and it stayed dry as a bone. After driving around the neighborhood for about 15 minutes and never going over 30 mph I pulled back in the driveway and sure enough the leak had sprung again. For whatever reason I was hoping I could drive it a bit...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I filled up the reserve tank a couple times in two days and drove it a lot. Would it be possible the pressure was making the coolant seep out because I overfilled it?? Only asking because the drips seem to have stopped and the rad is still full...or is that just because the coolant is actually...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I am probably going to go with a Murray from O'Reilly or something like that with a lifetime warranty as Andy, @bucket has suggested. I am also looking through the PO's receipts and trying to get more info to discuss with the garage it always has gone to about this radiator issue and the AC...

    Fairly certain this rad has plastic tanks. It always has kept the truck cool though, even with the reservoir somehow evaporating periodically.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Ok. I had to work today and my truck has not been driven at all. Just got home and the rad is pretty full. Maybe it's just a small leak. Should I try to locate and patch it , or just go for a new one?

    So, aside from the initial hose fitment you like the cold case performance?
