Does a 2002 Ford F-350 with a 7.3 liter Powerstroke have an aluminum radiator? Is this safe to use in a diesel system?

Most radiators today are made of aluminum and plastic. Permatex 80030 is a strong acid cleaner. Suggest you not use it in a aluminum radiator.

Yes. It has -8AN fittings on the radiator and it also has 1/2" barbed hose adapters...just like the description and picture indicate.It also has wires coming out of the fan motor to hook up to a relay/switch...

The Radiator has a aluminum core with plastic tanks. I installed in my jeep 6 months ago without any problems. I also added a fan shroud. I seems OK, I was a little disappointed in the plastic tanks. I cant complain about it, its doing its job. I hope this helps.Adam

Mine was a V6. I would confirm with ford if the stock radiator is the same for both engines. If it is, you should be good. This was a better quality radiator than the factory one.

Your 6.4 powerstroke has a exhaust with a DPF system that can not simply be cut off and replaced. DPF systems are connected to your engines computer and require specific engine tuning. You can find some great info at Powerstrokehelp.com on how this can be done with out screwing up your engine... FORD RULES... :)

It is for antifreeze coolant, Works better than the magnet or freeze plug heaters. Follow directions on placement and size of engine. Use the larger watt for trucks or diesils.

You can look it up online but to be honest it shouldn't matter if its aluminum or not. I have used it on aluminum and non aluminum alike and never had an issue. I believe the warnings only takes precedence in extreme cases where your radiator is already too corroded to recover using products like this. In witch case you can purchase the aluminum safe permatex brand flush. This product is great though, works wonders.

Well , the heat does effect even the plastic but in the cold it gave such a boost , i raced mustangs 2013 v6 with mods and i won with just the CAI and flowmaster mufflers , so u wouldnt race in the day because the air density is lighter than the air at night . I would go with the aluminim.

Hi! You will not need to add oil to the radiator. We have these at work and have never had to, and those radiators are several years old.

External or engine oil cooler and toc is transmission oil cooler. There will be two lines going into side of radiator that are metal top and bottom. If you have an automatic you will need to order these lines or at least the lower line. They will be rusted and stuck on there. I changed my radiator in under an hour and had to reuse lower rubber mounts. You will also have to slide clips from you old radiator and reuse them . The new radiator metal clips won't fit factory bolts.

I am looking at an 08 6.4 cooler right now and although the tru cool can be made to work it looks like the factory is the same if not better than the tru cool model in question. I would probably check out the for diesel forums for a better recommendation

I have this running on a 9590 currently, and it does a decent job. I range between 27-47C. I had a different setup before with dual inline radiators, but I have not had the time to get this setup implemented again.

It will work only if coolant is present on oil. If exhaust is present in radiator it won't work unless you remove the spark plugs from where the exhaust is escaping and run the engine without the spark plugs. this method is harder to repair.

Yes, all of the above except power extension. Grab it and pull out. also the heated feature has to be on your truck, if you don

No. This oil would degrade rapidly and most likely start forming a build up that would kill your radiator. Water Wetter as was previously suggested is the way to go, plus I don't think you'd pass tech if you had this in your rad.

use 2 3690. i have a 93 ford f150 with 2 3690 mounted in front of my radiator.works grate.richard

Yes. lots of time the original radiator cooler is much like a heater especially when you stuck in traffic. If you are not too confident get a bigger one. I have been using this one alone for years in one of my car and no apparent problems.
