Radiator leaking severly behind fan shroud
Found leak in radiator behind fan shroud of my 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 P/U. I Removed the shroud and found the electrical support wore into the radiator. I ground off some of the plastic material which gave the needed clearance.
Need to know if a radiator sealer will be a permanent fix or does the rad need to be repaired?
Dodge needes to inform its customers on these issues.

Is it possibly still under 7/70 warranty? I agree Dodge ought to take care of it (unless you relocated it doing mods). I wouldn't trust sealer, if it's not under warranty I would order another rad online or take it to a trusted rad shop. Keep us updated and by the way... Welcome aboard Kass. Where are you located?

I tried a popular brand Stop Leak in my old 280Z radiator - it stopped the leak for a while, then the radiator literally BLEW, it looked like somebody hit it with a shotgun. I recommend fixing / replacing the radiator!
