Radiator
I need to install a new radiator into my 1978 Ford F150 4x4. Is a aluminum radiator better to put in? I live in az so the weather here is pretty hot. I do not drive the truck everyday due to gas mileage, but I do drive when I need to or for the occasional cruise.

1978 f150 4x4 new aluminum radiator along with a flo-cooler water pump and thermostat and a two speed mark 8 fan the temp stays in the middle no mater what I do idling, or running hard . bought my rad off ebay from monster cooling, the guy is a good guy had a problem and he took care of it right away . the weight of the new radiator is 22lbs which is a lot less than the old one.

Good Luck with that aluminum radiator. if you have problems with it the next time get a four core copper radiator called Desert cooler. It'll last you probably as long as you'll have your truck. Cost more up front, but you only need to buy one time.
