IPR aluminum radiator

Good morning all,
Has anyone here used one of IPR's all aluminum radiators? I'm considering one of the two they sell ( the thinner core version ) Thanks in advance.

Dan

I would buy this one. I trust them when they say they have tested it themselves. They know the 6.0L. Not so much trust with IPR.

Very well could be Jeff. Price is the same also. My radiator from BPD is working fine, but it arrived with some damage to some fins (I had a bit of work straightening them). I was a bit disappointed in that.

The BPD radiator is made by Radicon.

Apparently Performance Radiator sells it also.

Thank you for the replies, I didn't know that KC also sold the radicon radiator, thanks for the heads up mark. Hartwig you mention usng the thick version and in doing research on the fan stator and it's purpose I'm going to stick with the thinner version of whichever radiator I choose so I can keep the stator even though it can be shall we say a bit of a challenge at times when working on the front of the engine. How long have you had the thick version of the IPR radiator in your truck?

Mark, curious as to the distrust of IPR? They recently have come into my radar with some of their products. Are they a reputable company or more of a snake oil distributor?

Part of it relates to some old baggage between BulletProofDiesel and IPR, but as stated that's old stuff. The bigger hesitation comes from a few things that just didn't set well with me. One of them is in the link below - has to do with their filter (and its magnet). I mean a filter (designed to remove particles) is actually generating them. Nuts.

And I will freely say I know nothing about their radiators. They may be the best thing since sliced bread. I am very glad to see that Hartwig likes his!
