They do this by adding a dye into the coolant and inspecting the entire system for leaks using a black light. Shouldn't be too much money, but it may not be a radiator. Could be heater core, that goofy heat block on the intake at the throttle body, who knows. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>NO MANRZ</b> <br /><small>Member # 566</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2005,10,17,23,26,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Stock temp guage?
