6.0 aluminum radiator

The radiator in my 04 is starting to leak. Anyone have an aluminum one they would recommend?

I know this is next on my list of the hundred other things I wanna do. The BPD one is sweet too.

As far as I know they did. I didn't think to ask him and he didn't mention it after he got it installed. I do however remember him saying something about him having to modify the rubber mounts at the bottom to get the radiator to sit low enough for the mounts on top to work right. Didn't seem like a big deal. You should hit him up and see what he says. I'd be curious to know. Sorry I can't be of more help.

i love my mishimoto.. perfect fit and slitely cooer temps than the stock and its not too pricey

NoSlow6.0 · Jul 15, 2013

Seeing as the mishimoto is 760 and that one is in the 250 range I would be kinda leary and the mishimoto has a lifetime warranty and the other says it has a 1 year "promise" I would be afraid I was just throwing money away.

Vanillaant · Jul 15, 2013

I guess, we'll see how well it holds up for him (if he posts about it not holding up). I agree though the $250 one does seem to good to be true. The BPD one is only, $352, which would still be better than $760.

The 760 was also their retail price on mishimoto's website. They may be a lot less through a vendor.

I have only one problem with the radiator, but I would think any aluminium radiator will give you the same. The radiator will burn skin very fast, so fast that it will give you second degree burns faster than you can say what the F when you skin touches it when hot. Nate is right I had to cut the rubber mounts, was sitting to high but after that no problem. The transmission fittings fit perfect, and I haven't had any cooling problems with the radiator. I actually bought the radiator to give a reveiw of it, the price seemed too good to be true and I figured if it worked then I would past on the info. The bulletproof radiator was going to be the one I was going to get before I found the cheaper one. Not saying that the Mish wouldn't be worth it, but the savings can go towards another mod, which was the electric fans from Quicktricks. For about anyother 150.00 I got both, and so far as been a great set up. I live in Mississippi, near Memphis, temps get about 100-105 so far this summer and haven't had a problem, been running truck at the strip and no problems.

Bulletproof Diesel or Mishimoto. Great products and you support the site sponsors

Ended up ordering a mishimoto radiator. Came in today and quality is top notch. Im glad I spent the extra money. Hope to get it installed this weekend.

Do you just reuse the trans fittings from your old radiator?

If so how do they seal, is there an o ring inside or does it seal to the outside of the fitting bung?

One of the next upgrades will be a mishimoto radiator.

I have one from performance radiator. 0 issues so far 225.00 bucks think their prices just went up a little though. Also know 3 guys with 7.3s with aluminum radiators from the same place with no issues as well.

It reuses the factory fittings.
