Radiator Question
I need a new radiator for my truck, 71 1/2 ton 350 auto, a/c. Will a 2 row aluminum radiator cool as good or better than a 4 row copper?
Thanks

Re: Radiator Question
You can buy a new 4 core pretty cheap now. Look at Napa or Advance.
I don't know if it would or not but if you have to pull a trailer or A/C I would stick to a 4 core. http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductL...ype=31&PTSet=A

It sucks not being able to hear! LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB! After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs. Last edited by Andy4639; 11-18-2008 at 11:19 AM. |

Re: Radiator Question
In all reality, that should do fine. A 2 row brass copper was the standard rad for a small block truck w/out a/c, and with the added cooling abilities of alluminum, you should be fine.
