Good morning Jay.

Not sure, seems kinda on the small side. It's not quite twice the size of the stock 7.3 cooler. What is your current set up, stock and V10?

Good morning Jay! I am not sure on that cooler. You have the v10 cooler along with the factory one if I remember correctly. Your cooling should be about the same as mine and Mike's trucks so I am thinking your only upgrade would be the 31 row 6.0 cooler or possibly adding a third cooler like Cory is running.

Yes that is what I am running Mike. I just wonder if I don't have a partially blocked cooler though. I have no idea what the ratings are on the Ford coolers to compare to the Hayden.

I may have to take a break from FTE. I am having a hard time biting my tongue in the "other" thread.

I am not sure on the ratings but the Tru-cool and the v10 are close I think. Now Jay take it easy! Remember from the other BS thread you are cool!!

Maybe Lee will chime in here sometime. I believe he went with a Hayden. I don't remember what his results were though.

Do you know if your crossover tube is blocked? I've got another good one you can try if you need.

Might not be a bad idea to flush the cooling system. I am wondering if the 2 stock cooler inline is too much restriction, slowing down the flow.

Good morning Chris!

Dave can do a complete flush for you at his shop. Although I am not sure of the cost on it.
