[mooseknuckles]

been checkin out radiators lately, my old two core stocker is almost done anyways, and I want to go with electric fans, so this is what I've come up with.....

[truckzilla]

Hey John, its looking hot! What source and part no. did you use for the K&N cold air intake? And the choice of radiators looks like the one I went with, a Griffin model 58272-1 with dual Spal's 31" x 19" and dual right hand side outlets. I picked mine up at Summit Racing for a great price considering some of the others I'd checked into.

thanks man....yeah its the griffin one...got any pics?..installed?..I'm just wondering about the size before I order it.....I'll try to find you a pn# for the k&n.....

[mooseknuckles]

truckzilla....I believe it's pn# 77-3031kp

Sorry John, mine is still sitting in the box. It will be a while before I get that far along on it. I went with the widest one, the 31" because I didn't see any reason not to as more coolant the better. Here in Texas in the summertime, sitting in traffic can really put a cooling system to the test.

For the mount, I went with one from CFRperformance.com

HZ-41016 CFR UNIVERSAL RADIATOR MOUNTING BRACKET KIT (31" x 19")

Jegs has the same thing for almost twice the price.

thanks......there really is only one other option the 27", but I think its not wide enough?.....I'll measure the stocker tomorrow....

[truckzilla]

I think the stocker is more like the 27" wide model. I wonder if that polished cold air tube can be adapted to hold the MAF sensor?

theres a rubber coupling that attaches to the end of the tube and MAF before the filter, the filter clamps on to a big aluminun ring that the MAF bolts to.....hope that helps explain it...

Thanks, it sure did.

[mooseknuckles]

I still need to buy a MAF or I'd have some pics....

[truckzilla]

Another reason, I'm thinking but I can't put my finger on the info right now, on why I went with the 31" wide unit is that I believe it uses larger fans than the 27" wide one does. I could be having a head up my butt moment, but that is what I seem to recall thinking.
