Radiators

[BFT]

Amen to that.
I'll be taking out my radiator probably tomorrow or this weekend for measurements and what not

Thats got to be tough since you can't see over the core support.

looks like No Limit will be working on a new radiator. it will not be crazy expensive, i can guarantee that. BFT will be helping with the R&D , give us a few months and we should have something that wont be an issue. Just better cooling efficiency.

Sounds good! Price don't even matter at this point. Quicker the better. Really hate to put in a new stocker when I know something is in the works. You can put me on the list for one of the first.

They are mucho grande

 

[Erikclaw]

Si, had a friend stop by when mine was out and he asked what it was. Radiator, WTF? that thing is huge!

Has anyone checked into the mishimoto brand ones they have ones available for the 7.3 and 6.0 and are supposedly working on the 6.4 now.Just a thought

After taking it apart you can see where it was leaking.

Got the updated degas bottle, cap and lower hose along with a new radiator. Customer couldnt wait. Did the upper hose a while ago.

Only changes to the bottle is a lower "cold fill point" lines and deleting the originally blocked off port.

These radiators are big. LOL

And I just wanted to mention the part number for the updated cap listed earlier was wrong.
9c3z-8101-B is correct.

We are looking into having all aluminum raditors built to prevent repeat failures. The would eliminate the plastic tanks and the gaskets. Just trying to get a feel for how many people would be interested in something like that. I think the retail price would need to stay at or below the $1000 to be competitive with the OEM ones that are around $800 under the new part number and pricing. Let me know what you think, send me a PM if you'd be interested.

I'm in need of one. I know Mike D is looking into building these too

 

[pog]

Add me to the list

 

[Rene G]

I'm interested in an aluminum rad!

 

[powerstroker67]

I just want to avoid some import POS! I'll wait for answers back, I have samples at a few company's to get pricing and time to build.

Are you implying that the No Limit rad is going to be junk??

I don't believe he'd take an outright stab like that.. think he just means stock.

 

[Erikclaw]

He may not even realize there is a No Limit radiator being worked on.

Highly doubtful...

Nope not at all! My issue is imported products as a whole! Normally the quality of the material is lower in import products. This is not always the case, but most products being built off shore and being done to reduce cost and make them cheaper. By the time you add the "landed" cost to freight items over the Pacific, the product has to be made so much cheaper that something has to give. This is usually either done in the form of reduced cost in material or in the labor that puts the product together. This is about a better solution to the radiator problem, I feel the solution should come from within our country. We have looked at imported products in our line and stayed away from it for these very reason's.

Yeah, I agree. I misunderstood. Although, anything outta SoCal may still be considered imported LOL
