i have a big desel 3 core eadeator in my truck and its leeking pritey bad and i think its pritey pluged up to and thats why my trucks been running so hot
i called 1 800 raidaders and thay wanted $300 for a 4 core, i was thinking about sumits 31x19 in. aluminum radeader with 2 1in. cores it seas it will out cool a 4 core and i have 2500 cfm fans, do you think this will keep a 454 with cam, pistons, 750 carb, intake, header cool?,
i know its a bit smaller than mine but i dont think mine is doing mutch, summit sead it should be fine as long as its under 12 to 1 compreshon, i dont know what kind of pistons its got but ther hier comreshon,it will still run on 92 octane so its probley under 12 to 1?
I got a 3 core from Advance Auto for $117 and they offered a 4 core for $170something I think. Take you measurements and then go to the store and dig through the catalogs.
i ended up geting the alumunum radeater and got it in, it took some mesing arownd since its smaller but with it and just the electric fans i had my running temp droped 30 to 35 degres, it dosent sound like mutch but its so mutch beter
now im looking at 2 more fans and a 30% higher flow water pump, shold be nine and cool then
this seems trange, if i start my truck coold and let it warm up just enufe to drive it runs up to about 220 but ig i let it worm up all the way to about 200 then drive it it stay right thare
could this be a bad t- stat?, or mabey the gage is crap, i have an after market temp ga
ok i should have just lisened to evreyone before, i put in a new micanical temp gage i put the senser whare the stock one was and my tem is about 180, next time ill lisen
The short water pump should sit pretty tight against the block, the long one will have a large gap behind it, almost enough to stick your hand down behind the water pump. Keep in mind this is looking straight down at the water pump from above.
