Had a 96 and 01 V10 with no cooing issues ever. My 01 Cummins had a radiator go out on me last year while towing from Chicago to Florida and went bad in Birmingham. Autozone had one so Ubered over there and back then changed it in a gas station parking lot, easy peasy! V10's use the same radiator and they have the plastic side tanks, check to see if there is any weapage on yours now...
