Aftermarket higher cap. radiator
Anyone running one? It was really hot today and I noticed my truck running a bit warmer then I would like, nothing bad but I am picky and would like it to run cooler. Just wondering what people have and there opinions on them. It doesn't help that I have a big *** heat exchanger and tranny cooler in front either.

I have the Genesis 34" radiator all aluminum and the B&M trans cooler.

I've also swapped to the 160* stat, and put a new water pump on for good measure. Recently we installed the 4000cfm Derale e-fans, and the temps have kept at low 180*s for the engine, and mid 170*s for the trans, and this is with both fans running.
The Ls fans that I had from the 5.3 were not enough for the 6.0, so it was in my best interest to make the swap.

Thinking part of my issue is that my harness is a nelson harness that is single wire, fans only come on high when AC is on. I want to be able to run fans on high with the tune. Looks like I may need to set mine up to be dual wire to PCM. Right now it will only turn on both fans on low. High only with AC. Cant run the AC because my compressor is bad.
