I'm installing the 05 Electric fans in my 04 5.3.
One question, how can I tell if I have a oil cooler?
In between where the trans cooling lines go into the radiator there is a small rubber hose that goes into the radiator on the passenger side, is this the oil cooler?

Any one know where I can find the Radiator for a good price? the lowest I have found is $234.60, but with the oil cooler its $308.63

Do I only need the Radiator for the fan swap, or do I need new lines or anything?

Thanks for any answers in advance

 

i think unless it is a hd truck it doesnt have an oil cooler on it. the oil cooler will have lines running to the drivers side of the rad. if not then it doesnt need an oil cooler. your hoses should hook up to it just fine.

 

What Up Lance - He's right it should all hook up fine and you dont need the oil cooler.

 

ok, Thanks

 

hey dude long time no see. hows the truck comin along??

 

How can you tell if the Radiator is 34 inches. Is it the core length or the overall length of the radiator. Mine measures 34inches overall. Please advise.

Thanks

 

34" core, not overall.
Another way to tell is to look on each side at the bottom and if you see a 2" hole on each side in the framework, then you have a 28" core. Those holes are for the 34" rad mounting bushings.

 

Check out car-parts.com or Radiator Barn!

 

I just had a good experience with the Radiator Barn...
The first radiator that they sent my arrived a little bent out of shape so I called them up and they emailed me a UPS shipping label to send it back. A week later (today) the new radiator shows up on my doorstep, straight as an arrow. They were very professional and accomodating on the phone also. Great customer service and a 34" rad for under $240, you can't beat that

 

Arent they doing "free shipping" or they are saying "free shipping"?
