OEM Ford Radiators

My Ford is Overheating: is it Radiator Failure, or Just a Bad Radiator Fan?

There's nothing scarier than being headed down the Pacific Highway around Kent and having the engine in your Ford start making weird noises. Except maybe when it's a truck, like Ford F-150, and when the engine not only sounds funny but overheats and fails. Start smelling something like syrup at the same time -- that's ethylene glycol -- and you'll know you've got problems.

Don't worry. We're here to help you diagnose what's going on. The most likely culprit: a failed radiator. In the case of an F-150, though, it could even be a faulty radiator fan.

Signs of a Bad Radiator

More often than not, if you see:

The radiator's gone out. Start to have car HVAC problems also, and that's practically certain.

Symptoms of Radiator Fan Failure

If you're driving a pickup like F-150, on the other hand, that overheating and engine failure is most likely happening because the fan's not doing its job.

If the fan's running constantly, and loud, it's either dirty, bent (a blade's misaligned), or busted. You can try scrubbing it (spray it off or wipe it clean), but if it's damaged (or the cleaning ends up damaging it), you'll have to replace it (usually the cheaper option anyway).

Of course, there are other explanations for fans going bad. Among them:

If you can't figure out the problem by plugging in a code reader or advanced scan tool and checking for error codes, your best bet might be to let the pros handle it. You need a new radiator, though, we've got what you're looking for. It's OEM-quality and guaranteed to fit, and in most cases, steeply discounted.
