Re: Aluminum Radiators

I fell for the hype and it has paid off, more than once. I put a "Be Cool" radiator in my truck and followed it up with electric fans. I had a couple times where the fans did not work and the radiator had more than enough capacity to keep the engine from overheating, in the middle of July.

The fans will not fail me now, I have redone my design to make it hard to fail.

Would a 2 row be able to handle that or should I get a 3 row to be smart and on the safe side?
In my opinion, you will be Ok with a 2-row, especially with a set of electric fans.

Good to hear! The BeCool is a nice setup, and is what I plan to run on my truck when the time comes.
