Radiator
Hey guys, I've got a question.. I was trying to find out why my truck was overheating the other day, and my girlfriend's step-dad came outside, and we found the problem, a leak, but his exact words were "Damn thats a small radiator".. Ive got a single-core radiator and his is a dual core, and bigger, too.. we both have the 302 ..mine is Fuel Injected.. hes got an '82 F-150 with a 5 spd and I've got the '85 with the AOD tranny.. he told me my radiator might not be able to cool my engine very well and I should replace it.. well I've got automatic tranny but I plan on getting a transmission cooler.. instead of using the radiator for cooling the transmission.. so what radiators would bolt right in? Would a bigger one out of an F-150 with a 351 work? Or is there a good aftermarket radiator I should get? I need to replace it sooner or later, it had a hole in it, but Barsleaks worked ok for now. Just wondering, any ideas lemme know please! Thanks.
