Replacing Radiator

phillipyang · 07-20-2005, 10:38 PM

Had it checked in Wednesday and its going to be ready on Friday.

The radiator seemed to have leaked near the bottom tray and at first I thought I lost the whole thing. After 3 weeks of procrastination and another 500 miles, I finally brought my Titan in at 35,760 miles.

Its still covered under warranty and I hope it doesn't break again

You ran an additional 500 miles with a leaky radilator in a big V8???

Brave...

Hope all get fixed... you know what caused the leak?

Mine was replaced. It was leaking really bad on the top.

The bottom leaked. We did a pressure test and it failed. I checked the levels everyday and it didn't lose any more fluid after the 2nd time I refilled. odd

Mine was replaced at 23k. Radiator was leaking in middle. Dealer took one look and scheduled me for replacement in 10 days. Leak stopped in the mean time, very minor leak. I discovered leak during an oil change, also found tranny cooler lines leaking during another oil change. It's a good thing to get in there and look around , I nipped two potentional catastrophe's in the bud doing my own maitainence.

Nissan is not alone with this new practice, but it kinda' bothers me that the freakin radiator has plastic top and bottom caps? WTF? Who thought that was a good idea? (All auto manufactures do it now)

I don't have billet grill . My radiator was leaking in the middle, others said theirs leaked from the bottom. Just curious if you think debris entering the stock opening could be responsible for damage, it's an awful big hole down there.
