Anyone have experience with aftermarket 6.0 radiators?
Seems ALL of them are 1/2 the thickness of oem.
Doesn't seem right but I can't find a full thickness radiator for a decent price.

Any thoughts? Do they work just as good?

I’ve put performance radiator and advance auto parts radiators in and they’ve been descent, but like you said, half the thickness of OEM.

I believe Alradco was supposed to have an upgraded unit.
If the plastic is bad on your factory, maybe have someone tig weld some aluminum caps on it in place of the plastic. That might work?

Also I believe Mishimoto is supposed to have a thicker than OE unit now. I've been seeing some guys on the fabrication thread on cummins.org have good luck w/ fleabay radiators.

I saw a thread where back in 16 someone had contacted the owner. He was having health issues, but getting better and launching a new website.
I would guess neither turned out.

I think they got in too deep and started having issues with the product longevity as well. Grew too fast for the size of the company basically.

It is unfortunate when a business fails, especially considering the ford tanks do suck. It would have been nice to have options but if it was CQ I'd rather see the failure vs junk surviving the market. On a health side, hope he's alright.
