45,000 miles and the radiator blew a leak.
Coolant low light started coming on and going off last 10 miles from our destination.

Kept an eye on temp and made it.

Thought about fixing it myself , even though I was at our campground with limited tools.
Proceeded and got the procedure. Looked good until I got to the "Evacuate AC System"
part. Two refrigerant tubes in the way of the thing coming out. A tow to the local dealership,
$800 US doll hairs for the piece, the usual assortment of consumables
and 7+ hours to put it in. Did fuel/air filters while we were in there...... $3500 Not impressed with
that radiator. Dealership, Diehl in Butler PA, was 100% OK.

Glad you got it fixed. Figures you’d be outside of the 36k warranty.
