    If you decide to try another replacement before you install it try to rig hoses and a way to connect a garden hose and use that to pressurize it but be careful depending on your water pressure you can put to much pressure

    I have a radiator pressure test kit. I didn't think the new one would fail straight out of the box.

    Nope!
    I may look for a shop to repair and test it.

    Yeah but that will be pricey.

    Not for a return. I have to pay shipping there and back.

    Yeah super weird.

    Trucks are old now. Damn near good idea to replace everything.

    And ball valve?

    Can't expect much from a 220 dollar aluminum radiator I suppose

    Works now and didn’t before. I wonder if there’s going to be a lot of wheels flying off now that safety is gone?

    Probably not, probably just sketchy brakes and tires, broke windshields.

    Things like burnt bulbs, mudflaps and shiz will probably get caught by the blue and red

    It really is a game changer, doesn't work so well with heat. The Z even has a little lever to choose between feet or balls. I think vehicles took a giant step back not including that vent anymore
