[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 981962, member: 52972"] Luke, 1ltech is a knowledgeable automotive tech with his own shop, and I think he was formerly a Ford tech, so I have the most respect for his opinions and his technical knowledge. If ye says a TSB for the V8 cooling system flash does not exist, and my guess is that he is 100% correct. It sounds like you have a good plan to find out the TSB number that the radiator repair shop is referencing... I think we all would be interested in knowing the outcome of this issue, so please keep us updated. I am thinking the radiator repair shop is just blowing smoke to get out of doing warranty work, and perhaps got caught doing a bad fix on a radiator and not actually replacing it. I am very suspicious since you said the leak is in the exact same place as the previous leak...That's why I like to get the old parts returned to me when the old part is not required for a core charge. If the shop fails to provide you with a valid Ford TSB that applies to your vehicle, I would question their business ethics and put in a complaint to the Better Business Bureau, and any other technical sanctioning organization they claim to be a part of. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
