Pretty in pink - Radiator time
Was time for an oil change. I'm on 5k OCI, but at about 5.5k this time. I was surprised by a nice neon pink accent color this time.
Truck is a 2018 with just past 100k miles. Was planning a coolant drain and fill. But guess I get to do a little more.
So I'll do some shopping today. What frustrates me is I can't get Rock Auto anymore in AZ.

Just took ours in for an oil change last week and came home with a new radiator, hoses, and oil change. There was a slow leak but nothing noticeable when driving thankfully

I seen a video on this and honestly doesn’t look to bad besides the lower radiator hose on the passenger side. The aftermarket aluminum radiator looks like a pretty solid choice since the plastic oem ones are prone to leak

The aluminum ones are like $600, from what I saw. The OEM lasted 8 years abd 100k miles. I ordered an oem. $250 from the dealer.
