3. How to check if radiator leaking?
Heavy Duty or Semi- Trucks:
It is easy for heavy duty trucks or semi-trucks to check the leaking because most trucks have coolant tanks that easily to observed coolant level. We usually recommend customers to use "Sharpie" to draw the maximum coolant line to check the difference between each route. If a large coolant level difference is observed, there might be the chance that the cooling system starts leaking. Here is steps by steps:
1. Check if coolant observed underground or on radiator or coolant tank (The dried coolant is usually pink color).
2. If yes, check where has large coolant observed. This will help you and mechanic easily to diagnosis.
3. Spray soapy water on the surface that you think it might leaking from to do the simple test. If bubbles continuously pop up, there might be chance where leaks from.
4. However, the accurate to test leaking will be pressure test under water tank. If the radiator is leaking, the bubble will be throughout throughout the test.
5. The pressure leaking test can be found by radiator shop. Check your local radiator shop to do the leaking test for accurate result.
We strongly don't recommend rebuilding or re-welding the radiator. The warranty and quality cannot be ensured.

4. If my radiator is without transmission oil cooler, can I still fit with oil cooler design?
Yes, radiators with oil cooler line can fit for both with or without oil cooler.
Transmission oil cooler is usually located at the bottom tank, and it is an individual system for radiator cooling system. Similar idea that different houses (radiator tank and oil cooler line) live in the same community. If your radiator is without oil cooler design, you can use with oil cooler to fit.
The only important thing will be 【DON'T CONNECT THE OIL COOLER LINE】
