Spoke with Spartan ,

Retail is 2119 , but if you send them pictures of the leaking area , they will give you a discounted rate. Seems like you got a better deal than me ?

1300 not including shipping

Sorry to hear about the leaky radiator ECVB. I thought I had escaped the dreaded “drip disaster” but my 2014 Anthem failed in October last year while parked. One day fine, a few days later a puddle. I went the same route w Spartan and got a discounted Modine radiator, which I’m happy to say is built much better. Those Chinese (assumption) made radiators Spartan used in 2013-14-15 with caps epoxied on were junk. Use the repair as an opportunity to flush the engine and replace the coolant.

I was fortunate I had a good Spartan shop nearby that had done 30-40 of those radiator swaps and did a good job in quick order.

4000 miles on the new radiator and no drips.

Have a appointment when I get back into San Antonio , my question is , why does it leak while cooling down ?

Thanks,

I had the same issue for several years. At first after checking all hose connections I would refill expansion tank. Then one day it ran medium hot on my way to a service appointment. Radiator system check was done and both ends of the radiator were leaking at the top. Service center said it could be patched but not guaranteed. I elected to get a new radiator but not from Spartan. If yours is under warranty, i suggest you demand a replacement.

I am not under warranty , I called Spartan to confirm issue with Radiator due to wet spots in the corner of radiator , sent them pictures to validate the area. Cost of radiator is $2119. But with the know issue based on the pictures and location they discounted the radiator to $1030.

Pressure cap insures that system is still under pressure.

Have you verified that it IS the radiator vs hose or connection?

+2 that was my first thought when I read you post. Look at where it is leaking.

It's not just limited to the Classics. Our 2016 also had a leaky radiator. I changed it out myself but the Cornerstone has a larger radiator - part nbr S-2676-001 ISX upfit kit and it ran $2,544.42 back in 2019. The new radiator design is much better.
