I have experienced a consistent problem with overheating pulling approx 16,000 lbs uphill 6% grade for anything over two or three miles.
To date have replaced Thermo, Rad Cap, Fan Clutch and of course a flush and fill of the cooling system.
About to pull the trigger on a new Radiator and really believe this will fix the problem.

Any comments based on experiences? And any suggestions on the best Radiator to go with, I see quite a range of prices and a few say things like XX% more cooling than OEM. ?? What is BS and what is real. The predominant price I see for a new Radiator is around 150.oo, again are there differences?

Thanks,

JP
