You go above and beyond anyone I’ve seen other than Jack when it comes to testing parts so if they check out you might be ok.

Vince's EGR delete and coolant filter were constant sources of coolant leaks on my truck.

Do let us know how the radiator works out. It appears to be a stout piece with a reasonable price tag. Unfortunately, for me, everything IPR now has a stain right off the bat, as does Vince and his horrible customer service skills.

I´m the Jack of Germany

I`m also working on LandRovers since many years. I am accustomed to grief with spare parts :-)

IPR's stuff is well documented across the country to be PROBLEMATIC. I've personally fixed plenty of PIECES OF CHIT from IPR.

Motorcraft's stuff is my preferred choice.

it's interesting how many here at FTE have relatives in Germany. I wish i had some in the USA, that would make a lot of things easier.

Back to topic. The only thing I would wish from IPR would be a faster processing of emails. But I have my own shop and know how short the time is often.

But no matter what I install, also from other providers, I check everything exactly.

I have ordered only 2 radiators next to the other stuff for the time being, i will flush them before installation and test them with 20psi.
But it will be about the beginning of February until I have the parts here. At the moment everything is still in Houston.

If you watch Anthony Youngblood at Superduty Service on Youtube you will see him raising some hell about IPR’s EGR deletes. Some of the older videos from a couple of years ago.

i don't want to deny that, but sometimes it's also mistakes that are made during installation.

Yeah, I know him. Wanted to buy intake manifold from him, he welds the EGR delete to the manifold. Unfortunately he did not react. Until today I have not received an answer.

Yeah they stay very busy over there for some reason...oh yeah, they work pretty much exclusively on 6.0 Powerstrokes! Haha
The Dieselsite EGR Delete has been great to me.

When I was the under the impression my radiator was leaking from the seams, I did a search on the subject and found lots of complaints about the plastic radiator. So I looked at the aluminum ones. Seemed like there were fitment or connection issues with many of them. After learning my radiator wasn't leaking, I elected to keep on trucking with the stock one. The crimped seams or the plastic may well end up failing eventually, but I can't complain that it hasn't maintained correct operating temperature. I haven't towed anything heavy yet though. Heaviest loads to date have been pallets of sod grass and roofing materials for a small house in the cargo bay. If I have to replace eventually, I'll lean towards stock unless I can find an aluminum one that maintains the same dimensions and fitment. But it sure looks as if damage during shipment is an issue. I wonder if maybe RockAuto might do better in that regard.

Seller bigdogrocks on eBay sells real Mishimotos for $360 shipped. I have had mine for a couple of years absolutely no issues with anything. I post about it before on another thread. It’s a real unit, I called Mishimoto and verified the serial number.

I read some negative things about Mishimoto, so I didn't buy it. Shipping to Germany is also difficult.
Vince now sends me everything on pallet, I'm just skeptical if airflow is optimal without fan shroud.
