[QUOTE="saltbranch, post: 1060299, member: 13181"] I installed the first radiator from Orielly's and got it fired up , coolant added and let the t-stat cycle several times getting the air purged adding coolant etc. A little bit later i find the new radiator leaking in the core. Pull it back out drive 30 miles to the Parts house,get another radiator coming. Picked it up next day and installed with same method, everything looked good. Came up next weekend and instead of checking oil/water like I should have, I fired it up went off into the pasture driving around. Thats when it got to 260. Anyways this is the last radiator I get from oriellys. I have always had good luck with them on other parts, but not radiators. I had the same issue a yr ago on my Jeep at home, getting bad radiators. Will be checking the compression my next trip back. Pulling the t-stat and checking that. Just aggravating, should not have happened if I checked the truck like I preach to my kids. At Least it was not the tractor. Run it till she blows maybe my new motto, then haul it to the scrapper :bang: [/QUOTE]
