look to the right of this page,click on problems,then click on "Coolant Leak from Radiator"(108 people reported this problem)..one guy is on #6 radiator! 08-09's eats radiators..little brother has a 2001>> 7.3L...he is on #2>>431,000 miles...
Looked into that and ours is gasoline not diesel
the 5.4L gas is listed also and is the 1st one listed.
Went to ford shop and showed them this and tried to buy a thermostat bypass and they said it is only on diesel ours is gasoline , there is no smoke coming from tail pipe, coolent is mixing into transmission . We had a warranty on radiator , so we swapped out and got a new one and have not installed it yet, truck is just sitting waiting on us to put the new one on . We are afraid it is just gonna happen again . What a waste !!! Still paying on truck and can't drive it and even when we go through this again , our plan is to haul it to the ford place and have it flushed out( transmission) again . There has got to be something we can do to keep this from happening again . We were happy to find that we could replace the thermostat bypass , but when ford place told us that was only in diesel ones we are stumped again
the only way coolant can get in there is an internal damaged radiator. i wish you good luck with it and hope that cures the problem//
Thank you , don't have a lot of faith in it because the other radiator only lasted two weeks , we don't understand why the one that came with the truck when we bought the truck in February lasted til May and was driven to Iowa and back before it went bad . Then to find all these 108 people reporting the same issue . But on diesel , I see that even though the truck is an 09 it was manufactured in 10/08 ..... Someone has to know how to get around this problem of radiator failure..... On the gasoline engine...please dear GOD ..... Come up with a solution for this problem . Can't feel good about selling our problems to someone else. Just want to fix it
