Yes I did when I did the EGR delete.
Got mine from Amazon. I would change the thermostats also if you are going that far.

and the 3rd hose (lower) isn't updated so you could change the o-rings or replace anyways like I did. I used a VistaPro rad instead of the Ford rad, the crimp is much beefier than my old rad so I was happier, can snap a picture for you if you would like.

Update for everyone, VistaPro didn't last a year, leaking as of last night. Lighting a fire under Mishimoto again to hurry up on the 6.4L radiator that they said was 30 days out last time this happened!

my stock ford radiator started leaking, and in a desperate attempt to save myself some money i use that FlexSeal rubberized spray in a can and i sprayed it over the leak where the crimp was. today a year later after surviving the pressure built up inside the cooling system from blow HG, it has not leaked rom that spot since, i had to put a few coats on it over a course of a few days. i know it sounds cobed but you cant even see it if you look under the hood and the can was less that 6 bucks. but hey it worked

That damn Flexseal! Can't order it in canada or something, we've tried 2 computers and can't get it to process, got to find it locally, needed it for the jet ski too but just ended up doing some fiberglass instead. I have warranty on the rad luckily, made it by less than 30 days for the 1yr warranty on it so they will refund me and I can move on to the Mishimoto if they ever release it.
