    I called Freightliner and there's were somewhere around $678 with core exchange. I found out where the leak was coming from with a pressure tester I rented from the auto zone. It's coming out from the top of the radiator so the radiator's toast. I think I'm going to put some bars radiator coolant leak fix in it to hopefully get me by until I can get the radiator replaced.

    Get a half dozen eggs and a half pound of black pepper and dump in it. Much cheaper.

    Disclaimer: I've never actually tried that, but hear it works well in a pinch.

    Don’t do it, will plug up heater core and cause other issues. Just replace the radiator

    Try American radiator @ americancoolingsolutions.com. Band aids like bars leak, don’t work for long, if at all.
