MY RADIATOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED

[TRACK CRAZY GT350]

I noticed some coolant on the ground the other day. Found out that it was dripping out from the back of the belly pan. Took it to the dealer yesterday and they found the radiator leaking on the drivers side bottom. 2-3 days for them to get a new one. My car has 500 miles on it. Note that my garage floor showed no coolant. The only time you will see coolant on the ground is when the car is running at idle for 5-10 minutes. Keep an eye on the coolant reservoir as it will go down very slowly. :(

I noticed my coolant level is just below the min line when cold. I haven't noticed any leaks though.

My leak is very slow. The cars come from the factory with more coolant than the minimal line when cold. I would keep an eye on your tank level.

Thanks for the heads up & good luck with the fix, Track Crazy

Hold up, I thought the leaky radiator was a Hellcat thing?

Your radiator!

Ok, Your radiator needs to be replaced, sorry to hear this, my 350 needs a new exhaust system just forward of the X pipe all the way back to the mufflers, my Ford dealer ordered it the other day, and they told me it cost $2378.00 to replace this exhaust, I was shocked, OK it's under warranty, and it's on back order at least till May the 3rd of this year, oh well it will be taken care of. :cheers: John

558.7 miles on the car! And it's a pin hole Exhaust leak, but Ford says replace!

Good to hear they are replacing the exhaust and not trying to repair it. The GT350 RC race cars have had plenty of exhaust problems.

That's all one piece/part number. The crazy part is when there's a bad motor for one of the exhaust flaps and they still replace the whole thing.

The Exhaust Is clamped on, just forward of the X pipe, and then flows into the Resonators, my Exhaust leak is just forward of the Resonators where it is welded to the X pipe. and after were its is clamped, it's all one piece out to the tail pipes. :cheers: John

They'll just send it back to the vendor and bill them.

Ha! I'm sure they will, for you know that Ford it not taking the loss on it, like you said Donkey, send back to the vendor, and let them pay ford for it. :cheers: but thanks :ford: John

How is a one piece exhaust cost efficient? Haven't figured that one out yet.

it is one heavy son of a bitch too!

I'd guess that the exhaust ( from the cats back) is really close to 100 lbs. I dont have a mechanism to weigh mine though ( other than the bicep-o-meter).

The magnaflow that i put on is 72 lbs including cardboard and packing materials. so probably 67-68 lbs total.
