MY HEATER IS STARTING TO LEAK VERY SLIGHT ODER IN CAB. I HAVE BEEN A MECHANIC FOR FORD
DEALER FOR YEARS BUT NOW I AM RETIRED . WHAT
DO YOU THINK ABOUT STOP LEAK PRODUCTS ?
I ALWAYS FELT THEY WERE A TEMPORARY SOLUTION BUT THE REPAIR COST IS $725 WHICH
IS PROBABLY REASONABLE . WHATS YOUR OPINION ON THESE PRODUCTS .
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP

If it is a slight leak I have had good sucess with the aluminum flakes in a tube or bronze. The stuff only hardens when it comes out a crack and cools in air.
Hope this works because pulling dash is $$$$.
Thanks for donate
