Bronco w/"super cooling"

Hi folks!

I have a 91 Bronco with the 5.8l engine. I was looking up some parts for it and the part number had a footnote. w/super cooling or w/o super cooling. Is there a way to tell if my Bronco has the super cooling option? Thanks in advance.

Scott

Yes, First off if you have a manual trans you don’t have super cooling. If you have an auto trans look at your radiator if it is thin and only has the two water hose's you don’t have super cooling, if it is thick and has two steal hose's on the one side those are the trans cooling (or super cooling) lines.

I have the automatic transmission with the steel lines on one side of the radiator...so I must have super cooling. Thanks!

You could always just put a 3" thick radiator off of an F350...

It is possible to have the Super Cooling option with a manual transmission. The SC radiator has a 2+ inch thick core. The standard has a 1 inch thick core.
