upgraded radiator
I will be pulling my engine in the near future for a performance built 250 and would like to replace my radiator while I am at it. My current radiator seems to be "light duty" to say the best, the truck always seems to run a little hotter than I would like, who makes a good aftermarket radiator for our trucks, or is there something off the shelf that will swap over easily?

Re: upgraded radiator
A stock 3-row (modine part# 366) will work perfectly, no mod's.
If your current radiator heats up at intersections, but NOT at highway speeds... then that's an air flow issue, not a radiator issue... use a good fan and fan shroud... Now true, a larger (4-row) radiator will sometimes cure an airflow issue, but the correct fix is, correct the airflow.
