- '21 Tremor 6.7
Anyone here work for a dealer service department who can give me some advice?
‘21 6.7 developed a coolant leak below radiator, drivers side. I took it to the dealer who inspected it and said was a bad radiator. They replaced the radiator, which was of course 2 months out of warrant, to the tune of $2,500. Said they pressure tested it and all was good.
Drove it home and was leaking, same pace, same rate. Thought maybe was overflow or something from being replaced. Drove all week keeping an eye on the fluids, and it appears to be an identical leak.
Going back to dealer on Monday. So what’s the play here? Possible could be a loose hose clamp from reassembly or something but it’s likely there will be no way to tell if it really did need the radiator.
What should a reputable dealer do in this situation?
Thanks all,
Andy
