Hello everyone,
Once this cold snap broke and we got temps above freezing, I noticed my coolant overflow was empty. Checking the hoses didn't turn up any leaks, but I've got coolant on the bottom of the fan shroud and a small puddle under the truck since last night. For the truck back home and it didn't overheat, but I don't trust it for the upcoming trips. There's currently a Spectra with welded aluminum tanks in the truck, but I'm inclined to replace it with a copper / brass unit.
Common auto parts stores ONLY carry the plastic / aluminum units; and I've only found a single vendor within 100 miles who has the copper / brass unit. They're price is around $650 shipped, and it's a Thermal Solutions radiator. My truck used the "tall" radiator for use with air conditioning.
Does anyone have guidance for me? Running out of options and need the truck repaired before this Friday.
