I was cruising around in the forum I just joined (it sucks) for F150's. While reading this, keep in mind the OEM radiator lasted 208,000 miles - and I don't think my heater core has been changed (knock on wood). I read on the F150 forum that the heater core on my F150 is grounded from the factory to "prevent electrolysis". I also read suggestions of grounding the radiator. Now.... I'm one who really likes an upgrade when I can, but I don't know how much of an upgrade this is.
Does anyone have any experience with this? Any thoughts are appreciated.
I imagine if I ran a volt meter to ground and into the coolant I could see if it is even a problem, eh?
Also wondering if since the heater core is grounded, would the radiator be necessary?
