This was on a classic mustang. I got a new warranty replacement though no questions asked, so that made it all better
Definitely not saying that makes it ok. All I'm saying is that it happens to every company even OEM. But at least they responded in a professional manner rather than seeking to shirk responsibility and blame it on install error the way a lot of companies would. I wouldn't take the replacement either. And for the record I would never run a mishimoto cooling product either. Everyone I know who has run their radiator has had a cap failure or leak. What I was praising was there professionalism in dealing with the situation and interest in doing right by the customer. A lot of companies would have responded with hostility and accusations rather than just trying to make the situation right.
