Radiator???
Well as you may know i just did the 6.0 swap to my truck.Today i was wacthing my temp gauge and i notice at stops it climbs to about 200 then comes back down.Roughly 200 anyway.It used to run at a solid 179 at all times.
So i'm wondering if anyone makes a better radi for our trucks.Maybe a aluminum one or something of the sort.Nothing bigger just a better one in general is all i think i need.

I havea 160 stat and the mixture is fine.I also have a bottle of purple ice in it to help out some.It's been fine with the 5.3 but the 6.0 puts out a lil more heat i guess.
I'm not gonna go to a larger rad as i ahve efans and i don't feel like "Making them work" with it.
I just want to get a better one to replace not a larger bigass one ya know.
Just checking if anyone knows where i could could a good rad from to replace the stocker.

i think the easiest thing will be to get the 34" rad.??
But i hear ya on the making the fans work.
I put a set of LT1 Fans on my buddies 04 Tahoe Z71, i didnt know it had a 34" in it, but it wasnt nothing to make the fans fit. Just a different bracket that i used on my truck.
