cooling not so cool

So i'm gonna give a shout out to Chris at COLD CASE. Vendor here. i reached out to him on my specifics and got nothing but outstanding customer service with a caring attitude. This guy cares about the product he is pushing out the door and the application its going on. i had many questions and all were answered shortly after my reaching out. This is a 2 row 1 1/4" radiator.26" width. my concerns were with fitment of the rad and shroud. He guaranteed the rad to support fitment, but could not on the shroud. We talked and measured things. shot a bunch of pictures back and fourth. In the end i had to open the two lower slots about an 1/16" to fit the support. I had to drill 2 holes in the radiator flange for the shroud to bolt up. EASY PEAZEY. Wanted to keep the factory look as much as possible so painted the tanks. Hated to do that cause this unit was polished to a mirror finish. I left the tubes and fins natural as to not interfere with heat transfer. This unit is one solid piece. The welds are professional and clean looking. drain petcock is brass. inlet and outlet sizes were correct as from factory.The best part was dealing with someone who actually cares and listens to the customer. i am quite sure this unit had something to do with the nearly 20 degree drop in cooling temps i now have. THANKS CHRIS. id be glad to share my experience with anyone who wants feedback on this radiator.View attachment 1715219551 View attachment 1715219552 View attachment 1715219553

Glad to hear the good things about the cold case radiators. I wish more guys would call someone like that before buying a radiator.

Most guys (like my block headed cousin) bought a 4 core radiator and doesn't understand how 2 cores are better than 4.

So the answers are (in no particular order)...

The correctly sized and cored radiator.
Correctly sized drive pulleys so the the water pump is overdriven.
Quality high flow water pump.
Quality Stewart Components thermostat.
Proper fan and shroud.

Cool as a cucumber even on desert hot days.
