Well as you may know i just did the 6.0 swap to my truck.Today i was wacthing my temp gauge and i notice at stops it climbs to about 200 then comes back down.Roughly 200 anyway.It used to run at a solid 179 at all times.
So i'm wondering if anyone makes a better radi for our trucks.Maybe a aluminum one or something of the sort.Nothing bigger just a better one in general is all i think i need.

 

do u have a 180 or 160 stat?
E fans?
correct mixture/ ratio of dexcool?

 

the 6.0's come with a 34" radiator in a tahoe or whatever you got it out of if im not mistaken

 

I havea 160 stat and the mixture is fine.I also have a bottle of purple ice in it to help out some.It's been fine with the 5.3 but the 6.0 puts out a lil more heat i guess.
I'm not gonna go to a larger rad as i ahve efans and i don't feel like "Making them work" with it.
I just want to get a better one to replace not a larger bigass one ya know.
Just checking if anyone knows where i could could a good rad from to replace the stocker.

 

i think the easiest thing will be to get the 34" rad.??
But i hear ya on the making the fans work.
I put a set of LT1 Fans on my buddies 04 Tahoe Z71, i didnt know it had a 34" in it, but it wasnt nothing to make the fans fit. Just a different bracket that i used on my truck.

option one should suit you great!

 

nonnieselman did you just make brackets for your fans?

its probaly gona be a chore to find an aftermarket radiator.

 

What type of bracket did you use? I ahve the flex a lite fans on my truck right now.
I may give radiatorbarn a call tomorrow.

 

you can use zip ties, they will work fine, many people have done this!
Thats how mine are on my radiator

 

You have a new pm.
