So for the record, this one is in the books...
here in victoria bc, i can run the dual core alum radiator. always runs cool unless i am loaded and then i can see 210 but not much more. I bought the alum rad for 325, the damn copper brass ones are over 700 here on the island. I think even 800 at some parts stores. All about that import tax and duties, . Cant wait to get a copper brass lifetime for the same as a dual core alum haha

where???

Where did you pick up a dual core radiator at? I am thinking of upgrading radiators myself because my truck is running hotter again. Not overheating but stays around 220-230. Damn fan will not stop running and tired of the power drain.
