Had a fluid leak coming from underneath the back passenger side of my recently purchased 2010 Discovery 40G motor home. Took it to a cummins dealer for warranty service on the engine. They found that the leak of fluid must be coming from the radiator. However they found the radiator to be a Fleetwood radiator and a Cummins Engine. Has anyone else found this to be the case? I now have to try to get authorization from Fleetwood to have this fixed under warranty at my Cummins repair shop.
Also how do I get these repairs under warranty from Fleetwood?

Cressic23,
Welcome to iRV2 where we will solve your problems or, if we don't know, we will lie to you. 
Your authorized Fleetwood dealer is your conduit to parts and warranty service and hopefully, you're still under warranty. Call 800-322-8216 for Fleetwood for customer service and your nearest FW dealer.

Steve

Has anyone found that they have a Fleetwood Radiator on a Cummins Engine? If you do have you had any problems with the radiator?

The radiator is probably not made by Fleetwood, but made by an outside vendor to Fleetwooods specs.

Now now, general . . . .you missed one important note : If we can't fix it, nor can we lie, we will answer a totally different question, like the politicians do! In Cressic's case, replacing the 20 amp main fuse just might do it! If not, increase tire pressure by 3 PSI.

It is not a Fleetwood installed radiator it was installed by the chassis manufacturer, most likely Freightliner. If you indeed have a Freightliner chassis call 1-800-FTL-Help, 24/7/365 with the last 6 digits on your VIN. They can assist you in getting the correct repairs to the radiator.
FYI: Freightliner supplies the body builder (Fleetwood) with a complete chassis that is actually drivable (not legally of course).

It is not a Fleetwood radiator nor is it a Cummins radiator. Fleetwood buys the chassis from Freightliner and Freightliner installs the CAC and the radiator before shipping to Fleetwood.
