Radiator fins rusted, no leak
Just wondering how urgent of an issue this might me. a few of the lowest fins on the rear facing radiator have rusted out on the bottom. No leaks. Just wondering how common it is and if its something that is urgent.
It looks to be localized to this area of the radiator.

it may not be urgent but if you looked at other post you would know that this is just the tip of the iceberg. I just replace my radiator and the side you are looking at was perfect. the side you can't see is where I found a real huge amount of eroded fins.
left top side as seen from rear and top inside toward engine. this is caused by road salts or chemicals.

Yet is right.
I have read some posts where people did this job themselves, anyone have any ideas of where to find replacement radiators at a reasonable cost for our Freightliner chassis.

Sure, there are lots of places on line so do a search. plenty of plastic ones out there for around 800 or so. Metal is more expensive.
Since you don't show where you are located it would be difficult to advise as to where. I got mine for 1200 here in NJ.

The buckeye state, Columbus Ohio.
When you search do I do it by the chassis vin number or the measurements of the radiator.
I think if I can find a reasonable replacement I will replace myself.
