I was having an Overheating while towing (in tow mode)my 4000 pounds boat
Mostly while speeding over 50mph temperature was reaching the 235+

Easy fix . Replace the POS oem radiator for an aluminum one
Last towing trip 400 miles I pushed for a while to the 73mph and not issues
Temp was steady on the 195 all day

 

Can you post the brand you went with?

Sweeet, thanks!

 

Was it a direct fit along with all the lines?

 

Yes direct fit . No mods needed
I have an aftermarket tranny cooler so I didn't connected the lines but the fittings are there
Also gain the drain plug
And the temperature is smoother than ever
Great easy Improvement
Replace the radiator is fairly easy .
A few screws and hose clamps . The cross over which hold the hood must be removed . Make sure to tie the hood this is heavy

 

Great info!

Why does the hood have to be removed?

Thanks for the picture, I'm looking at a similar radiator with a dual electric fan setup with aluminum shroud. Hoping to get rid of the loud *** power stealing fan we have.

 

Not the hood but the crossover that hold the hood lines. That. Way you have enough clearance to remove the radiator .

 

What was the the temp before and after

 

195 steady. Not towing mode

Up and down Between 195 up to 235 while towing. Mostly when speed up over 55mph

Now .. 195 stay. Not matter what speed
