1 Radiator problem

Failure Date: 03/26/2021

I was in for an oil change and dealership told me there was no fluid in my radiator. Upon inspection the radiator had cracked and was leaking at the seam right corner. The mechanic told me it was the 7th one they had done this season. I live in mass near ocean. It was a rainy day and my windows were up. There were no fumes, no warning lights to alert me something was going wrong with the heating cooling system. . The concern was my truck wasn't the first to have this problem with this particular dealership. The same dealership mcgee raynham MA has been the only company to work on my truck.

2 Radiator problem

Failure Date: 09/27/2020

Coolant leak on driver side of radiator. This causes truck to overheat when driving on city streets or highways & at idle on occasion. It causes truck to overheat every time when hauling a load(pulling a trailer and/or boat) on city streets & highways. I can visibly see coolant leaking from the radiator. Driving with the ac on makes the overheating worse.
