I have read there isnt anyone who make the diesel core support but i found this site , does it look correct? 1992-1997 Ford F350 Radiator Support - Cooling System - Action Crash 92-97 F350 Radiator Support - 5360-04032803 - PartsGeek

 

I believe that is a gasser, listed as a diesel. Seen that happen before on these supports.

 

Www. Car-parts.com

Or lmc truck

Lmc lists one for a diesel to my surprise they also have diesel sending units for tanks.
I ordered the sending unit and was correct. (Tried several used ones always got gassers)
Car-parts site is the recyclers website for junk yard parts. I fould a support in nebraska when i was there i bought it. Shipped it home.

I am gonna look at the lmc truck support also

 

interesting. that site shows two different part numbers for gas and diesel supports. i wonder if someone finally saw the need and started stamping diesel supports?

 

Dang it just inspected the"diesel" one. Only for up to 94. And it also is only 18" opening. My 95 is around 23 "

 

Nobody makes an aftermarket diesel core support. Even if they list it as diesel it's not. They want you to "modify" it. The only way to get replacements is to find them in the south and have them shipped up.

 

For under 200 i wounder how much mods are required.

LMC shows the diesel. for a 96.. that will work on the 97 right?

 

You need one for the super cooling option

 

This: Trumps this: IOW, it won't work on a '97, a '96 or any other year diesel. ALL diesel trucks '92-'97 take the taller core support, cooling/AC options notwithstanding. And NOBODY makes one. LMC has been lying about this for years.

 

Ok used only. Thanks.

 

As far as I know there are only 2 supports. Gas and diesel. My last truck was a 460 w/ super cooling and I replaced that radiator support with one from a 2wd f150 302 no ac. Someone else might chime in, but I'm pretty sure about this information.

 

I bought a gas one from rock auto....


see pictures here....

Will be cutting it up this weekend....

 

A simple measurement from the top of the support to the bottom will put this to rest. The diesel supports are probably 7 or 8 inches taller than the gas ones

 

From the bottom of the "loop" yes...from the mounting points on the frame rail no....




I will have more detailed pictures this weekend... I have to cut and extend the lower loop...and trim the side openings back...

 

anyone have the inside to inside measurements on hand? I found a core support and the guy said it is 34 wide and 27 high opening
