Hi,
I have a 1999 Expedition XLT 5.4L 4x4. Owned her since 2000. Second owner. Best car/truck I have every owned.
I have had all work done on her by my local Ford Dealer or myself. Over the past 4 years I have had the radiator replace 2 to 3 times. The current radiator is only 14months old. This one replaced by Ford Dealer. It is leaking at the passenger side lower seam where the aluminum meets the plastic. The system has been checked by the Ford dealer for over pressure, head gasket leak and a new water pump, thermostat, and reservoir pressure cap replaced. Coolant is green type placed by Ford Dealer. If I added any it was premixed Preston. I have check for electrolysis and the voltage reading is always in normal range.
The truck runs great. I have no complaints. But is there something I am missing? Are the OEM replacement radiators this bad? Any thoughts or help appreciated!
