52B3B108 Posted March 25, 2007 Report Posted March 25, 2007 My radiator started leaking progressively more and more last summer. The water temperature always stays a little above 160, with the exception of one parade last summer. I took it 1 1/2 hours away to a guy my Dad has used to repair old tractor radiators. We decided not to do the acid bath, which could potentially create more problems, and just backflush and pressure test the radiator. Upon first inspection he saw a crack where the top tank is welded (or soldered) to the core. He gave me a call a few days later and said he had welded the tank, pressured tested the radiator and added an overflow tube that I can hook a hose to for $56.00 and some change. What a relief!! I was sure there was going to be situation where I would have to spend several hundreds of dollars to fix it. And I'm the one always telling my wife not to worry!! LOL Quote
