Well I thought I would make a new post after having it installed a little under 2 weeks. The fit and finish of this radiator is very nice and every mounting tab and bolt hole are dead on where they need to be. I was not expecting to see any drop in temps but right off the bat I noticed a 4 degree drop on coolant from my normal 200 temp rolling down the highway to 196 now rolling down the highway. I saw an even greater difference in temps when I was towing into the Sierra's up to Reno from the San Francisco area, I start at sea level and climb to about 7,000 ft. On this trip I had about a 14,000 lb trailer and at the summit of donor pass I am normally about 225-230 on coolant temp. On this trip when I reached the summit I was only at 210, thats a 15-20 degree drop from what I normally was and I was shocked that is was that much of a change. Here are some pictures of it being installed
Here was the 14k load that I had going up to Reno
Over all I am extremely happy with the new radiator and so happy to get rid of the crappy stock plastic end tanks that are aways leaking which leaves me to have to worry about one less thing leaking and leaving me stranded while on the road.
