[hitchup]

We had a Job 1 - 2008 F450, find by build date on driver's door sticker. Ours was 2007. Had hoses replaced at least once and a total of 3 radiators, even with all of the upgrades done to prevent a radiator failure.

When it looked like another was imminent in early 2010, we figured we could trade it for a 2010 or wait 3 mos for a 2011 to be built. Not wanting to be guinea pigs again, we opted for the 2010. Much better reliability and later found out the 2011's had transmission issues.
