Default New radiator

Just got my radiator in from BTR radiator. This thing is on steroids. Hope to get it in today . Will try to get some side by side pics of it comparing it to the stock radiator.

Pictures would be great! Out of curiosity, why a bigger radiator?

I guess piece of mind more than anything. I pull our race car trailer across Monteagle mountain on the way to Ga quite often. The temps have always climbed on it in the summer. The stock one had sprung a few leaks so figured i would get a heavy duty one while i was at it

$500 well spent for the peace of mind. Has me thinking about it now. I was going to pull mine and have it flushed, but I guess I have some number crunching to do first.

Climbed Monteagle mountain yesterday, Did not even begin to heat up with the new radiator. Very pleased with this upgrade.
