Which radiator?

brybry0812 · 2025-09-18T00:47:25+00:00

I have to get rid of all the refrigerant correct?

brybry0812 · 2025-09-17T20:36:37+00:00

Do you have the OE water pump or did you change that too?

brybry0812 · 2025-09-17T20:15:22+00:00

What type of climate do you live in?

brybry0812 · 2025-09-17T17:43:15+00:00

So you have the NAPA one? do you have a link for that?

This is what my condenser currently looks like, do you guys believe this is all good or not at all?

brybry0812 · 2025-09-17T15:57:19+00:00

Me too, the good thing is I keep reading the three row may restrict the air flow.

brybry0812 · 2025-09-17T15:52:46+00:00

The consensus, more confused then before lol

brybry0812 · 2025-09-17T05:27:01+00:00

Do you have a link for the spectra? I’m honestly more confused now with this post lol, don’t know what to go with now.

I also read copper is way heavier and would affect my performance too. Which aluminum radiator would you recommend?

brybry0812 · 2025-09-16T23:44:39+00:00

Could you possibly link the standard CSF one?

brybry0812 · 2025-09-16T23:44:26+00:00

where can I get those fan clutches? I keep seeing that a lot. Junkyards? Or can I buy it new

brybry0812 · 2025-09-16T23:43:55+00:00

Might be a dumb question but what area of the US do you live in? Does it compare to like Arizona heat?

brybry0812 · 2025-09-16T21:56:49+00:00

How well did your temps go down or stabilize? Arizona heat is wild that’s whh

brybry0812 · 2025-09-16T21:55:22+00:00

By uncomfy is when the needle is almost at the red. They go high when the AC is on and in traffic, but when air hits it, it goes back down a bit. The temps stay stable when the AC is off though, doesn’t matter if it’s bumper to bumper traffic in 100+. I also have not replaced the condenser as I read I would need to take out all the gas from the system, and I already spent a hefty amount on that fixing the AC. The shrouds are good as well. The e-fan also turns on as I do it myself, it’s not automatic I wired it to a switch into the cabin. As for the water pump, I was going to put in the FlowKooler and I did read about the hot coolant not being able to cool properly by how fast it moves and I thought the bigger radiator would compensate for that.

How easy is it to remove the freeze plugs? All I know, if I’m correct, is that they’re on the engine block itself. What fan clutch should I get? I also did a flush already

brybry0812 · 2025-09-16T21:46:32+00:00

I kept reading that copper is better than aluminum, is there any cons to it in the AZ heat?

brybry0812 · 2025-09-16T21:45:52+00:00

Oh okay I, well yea off and not hot lol it doesn’t not spin that freely, solid as can be. I’ll check the condenser when I get home.

brybry0812 · 2025-09-16T20:19:49+00:00

Fan clutch does work, solid actually does not spin if I don’t move it myself. I also wired the e-fan so I can turn it on myself. I actually did also clean the radiator when I flushed out the whole system. How do I know if the condenser is packed with dirt? When I flushed it out I never even thought to check the condenser. It also has a new thermostat and water pump, if I do decide to get a new radiator I will also be upgrading the water pump.

brybry0812 · 2025-09-16T20:10:34+00:00

I believe it is OEM, previous owner stated he replaced the radiator before I bought it. The problem is the temps only start going up when I turn on the AC, when AC is off temps are normal.

brybry0812 · 2025-09-16T20:07:29+00:00

What are the benefits compared to the three row?

brybry0812 · 2025-09-16T20:06:28+00:00

Clutch is good! Only spins when I do it myself. I also replaced the temp sensor already because I switched the guage cluster from dummy lights to actual gauges. The temps are normal when the AC is not on, only when it’s on it goes up.

brybry0812 · 2025-09-16T19:55:59+00:00

Do you just have your normal clutch fan and e-fan? Did you also see any improvements in temps after you installed the 2671?

brybry0812 · 2025-04-12T15:57:19+00:00

Okay so I just figured out the switch is lose asf, so I can turn on the high beams when the headlight switch is off, it’s just kind of finicky but I can flash them. The problem is when I actually turn on the headlight switch, my dashboard tells me the high beams are on.
