LLY: Aftermarket Radiator???
- Thread starter rdohara
- Start date
So the only reason the trans heats up is because of the engine coolant?
Have you actually tried this? Are you a expert? Why do you feel the need to bash the OP?
this is a truck with the Trans cooler mounted in the bed with a bed cage like i said back at the start of this this is not a truck like you think it is so stop thinking like that it has no air flow to it unless the fan is turned on so stop thinking like you know what you are talking about step outside the box you live in and what you have been told that is write and wrong ALL I WANTED TO KNOW IS IF ANYONE KNEW OF A AFTERMARKET RAD. (running in the desert in the sand with the stock cooler set up we have been at 220+ since the change i have not got it to go over 190 and it heats up to 150 with the fan off in about 10min.) Like i said think outside the box you have been told about this truck runs in the So Cal Deserts as a chase truck pre runner
this is the truck

..... Ive thought about putting a smaller radiator in my truck to make more space, but this is a good topic now.
This is about the only reason I would consider changing the radiator.
What Josh and Ben said though are actually valid points to maybe not want to change it.
I know not of an aftermarket rad that will do anything significant, for the following reason:
What I have found (to your objective), is that in typical configurations, the radiators worst problem is not size. It is ambient upstream heatup. It is not unusual to see 260 f heated ambient blowing onto the radiator on the hot side of a CAC.
Eliminating ambient heat is something to think about. If this is relevant to a recent email, I think I understand.
Im not saying its going to work fine, or that im going to do it, thats why i was asking, it was a thought, but my goal is NOT to make it run cooler, nor is my truck overheating, but for room for different ideas i have. I beleive in not fixing things that are not broke to an Extent, but that wont help you win. Personally i just like popping the hood and people goin "wtf?? is that a duramax?"
I wouldnt think of doing it on a daily driver, just cause what you said, the stock works fine.Are you still using IFS up front? If so, I'd really like to see some pics.
yes still has IFS how do i post photos???
OMG! that was funny boys, all that way for just a simple question.....:rofl:
