I started installing parts for my Radix this week. Here is the low mount heat exchanger that was originally fabbed by Sprayed99 and modified for my Sierra lower bumper opening.


Let me know if you guys think it’s a sound piece or if anyone has any suggestions for alterations. I’ve heard that there is a special bracket for the Gibbs trucks with the Maggie. Anyone think that would be a better way to mount it?

 

that looks good, id just be worried about hitting it on the ground, and rocks hitting it from the front.

 

IMO I would use the Magnacharger lower bumper style mount like I have:

Now that is some serious cooling...I'll have to take a look at my truck to see how that will work for me. Is that the Gibbs mounting bracket or is that straight from Magnuson?

 

Well as far as location goes, I can attest that it will work quite well with the Sierra airdam. My tranny cooler is down there and it works great. I even trimmed the opening a bit and I plan on building a shroud for it to further increase flow.

 

those are the brackets from Magnacharger

 

That's sweet looking. Moregrip, is this even worth doing without the fans?

 

I'd say so, the decrease I saw without them was 3-5deg cooler IAT's, you can always add the fans later
