need to replace my radiator and i'm thinking if i'm gonna do it i may as well go with aluminum ... but which one and from where???

and is it worth the extra cash??? what kind of improvement do i stand to see ... i'm reading about an average of 30 degrees cooler but what does that translate to?

 

An alum radiator will not make your engine run 30 degrees cooler, that is controlled by your TStat and PCM kicking on the fans.

If you do get one make sure to put in the red antifreeze.

 

Just curious why red antifreeze?

 

I have always been told alum radiators last longer with the red stuff. Do not know why. I bought two gallons for my SRT toady, even says it on the back of the bottle.

 

Huh thats interesting. I have never heard of that before but, I have never had a vehicle with an aluminum radiator either..Learne sometihng new everyday...

 

guess that would depend on the real temp that your engine is running at huh ... if the tstat is staying open and the temp still isn't coming down ...

good to know about the red stuff ... was also thinking about switching out the tstat for the cooler one in the process ...

anyone know where to get a radiator that will fit my 4.7??

 

You know, I just happened to think, the PCM has nothing to do with it. 4.7 and Hemis have a manual fan I have been working on my SRT to long.

 

you have been workin on it too long... just park it in my garage I'll take care of her for ya

 

You know, I have yet to get it on the road since the SC install! Today was suppose to be the day, rained all day

 

that sux!!!! is it all tuned and everything or not yet?
