Since the non IC'd trucks don't have such a good radiator I want to upgrade it. I know that the IC'd trucks have a good rad, but am wondering if someone knew the size of one that would be need to keep it cool if I wanted to go with a custom/universal aluminum one or something like that.

I don't want to limit my search to just a later model rad because I am going to be making a custom rad support anyways so as long as its not too big I can make any radiator work. Just want to make sure its gonna keep the engine cool and do a better job then my stock rad.

what about a 4 core radiator out of a chevy/ford???if youre going to make a radiator support you could go with on from them too. i know mine hasnt had a problem on my truck, and dont have a fan. just something to hink about.

I have the bigger IC rad and it isn't enough to keep mine cool when pulling a heavy load up a steep hill. I always have to back off the go peddle because of the engine temps notthe Pyro.

If you are going to fab in a different rad may as well go as big as possible. I've also heard that alumminum rads cool 1/3rd better because aluminum is better at transferring heat.

Yeah, the aluminum will cool better than the same sized copper/ brass would.

I don't pull/tow anything with my truck but im sure temps could still get up there. Right now just going down the highway at 70mph they can get pretty hot (over half) with my current rad

I'll keep the aluminum part in mind I think I can get a good universal one for about $300 but im not too sure especially what dimensions I need.

Does anyone have stock dimensions? If not I'll just have to get them later
