I replaced my heater control valve about 5-6 years ago when I first bought the truck because it was leaking... turns out it's leaking again now. Going to buy another oem motorcraft one. But that got me thinking on other things. The radiator is original to the truck, so it's about 16-17 years old. At what point would one replace it short of it leaking. To my knowledge it is not leaking at all but one of those things I'd hate for something to happen while I am driving and then be stranded type of deals... Rock auto has them cheap and a Spectra Premium is only $108. Since i'm ordering stuff form them anyways figure I'd pick up a new radiator and replace what I have. My only concern is that the newer stuff isn't going to be built like the original/older stuff... but then again, I don't expect the truck to last forever. Just wanted to get some opinions on it. I was going to do a coolant flush here next week anyways so stuff is going to be apart and that might be a good time to replace. -Nigel
