Ok,someone explain WHY you need a better radiator in these things??

I've towed 50K gross with a 12v, 24v, and now a 6.7L, and even at 450hp, they all stay at the same normal temperature.

If you need more than 450hp at any weight towing then I believe the radiator might be a concern a bit farther down on the list....Brakes would be at the top of said list

IMHO,
Chris

Well, we built a 600hp 12V for my SuperDuty and built twins with the intent to tow whatever in the hell we decided to hook to. With that in mind, I couldn't keep the plastic end tanks from splitting when I had the 6.0, much less the twin turbo Cummins! While I'm at it, why not replace the radiator plastic end tanks too? This allows me to have my water inlet and outlet on the same side of the radiator, top and bottom for the Cummins. Makes a lot more sense now, doesn't it?

That's a Ford part

In your case, with the Ford cooling system being marginal at best, I fully agree a better method is needed. I also will add that the 12v should run a lot nicer than the 6.0L

My experience is with Dodge cooling systems only.

I am almost immune to chop busting....I grew up in a shop surrounded by retarded mechanics....now I'm one of them


I can take a good chop busting, as long as I'm allowed to give it back...

Zack is installing his on his CR this week and mine is the core in the pics above without tanks yet. We didn't really need extra cooling so we expect them to perform at least as good as the stockers.
